Hi, as title suggests, I am looking for the “official” method of renaming the main folder and executable when a PC build is completed. I have also been monitoring this thread.
I would preferably not want to rename the uproject and the project as a whole. If we use the method of inheriting from the original Target.cs, does that mean moving forward we must declare a -target in our RunUAT command?

Hello!
Renaming the project is the most efficient way to change the name of the exe and the project folder within the package. It also changes the ProjectName in the runtime (GInternalProjectName) so that saved files are in the proper folder. This is important to avoid “collisions” of settings and save files in the user folder (appdata) when working on a sequel or when using an old project as a base for a new one.
Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin, is there any other way rather than renaming the entire project? As precaution and to avoid breaking the project for the rest of the team, I would really ideally want this to be the last resort due to logistical issues

The project name is used by a lot of scripts and tools. Changing it is the simplest way that covers all cases. Other options involve modifying the tools and the scripts. I strongly recommend renaming the project.
