Can I manually update projects.json?

Wappler General Need Help
1

I want to move my projects from one drive to another (folder/file structure would remain intact) and wondered whether I could quickly just edit the path property for each one found in the projects.json file (~/Library/Application Support/Wappler/Configuration/projects.json)

I appreciate any open tabs when reopening the GUI would point to the old location and need closing but are there other places that rely on the location - basically will it work as it would save me a whole load of time re-importing the projects

e.g.
This

{
  "projects": {
    "CEadmincentrePHP-GIT": {
      "path": "file:///Volumes/OLDDRIVE/Wappler%20Projects/Complete-Ed/AdminCentre/Live/CEadmincentre",
      "recentFiles": [
        "dmxConnect/api/behaviour/data/recent.php",
        "index.php"
      ],
      "updated": 1749196145444,
      "lastOpened": 1749205689602
    }

Changes to:

"projects": {
    "CEadmincentrePHP-GIT": {
      "path": "file:///Volumes/NEWDRIVE/Wappler%20Projects/Complete-Ed/AdminCentre/Live/CEadmincentre",
      "recentFiles": [
        "dmxConnect/api/behaviour/data/recent.php",
        "index.php"
      ],
      "updated": 1749196145444,
      "lastOpened": 1749205689602
    }

I think I did this in the past

Thanks @Apple

I was hoping @George might just give the nod that nothing else important needed a path change too

Well you can change it but do make sure Wappler is fully closed first and make sure paths are correct otherwise you will have a big problem.
