Renaming a Sonar Project

I believe the best way is to do a "Save As" to a new folder then just delete the other one when you close the project.
Renaming would be a nice feature in the future.

Thanks Chuck - I'll give that a try although it sounds dangerous. Probably be worth creating a nonsense project to experiment with! :-) I've got so many song projects with folder names that don't relate to the eventual name of the song and for an old fart with a memory like mine, it's a nightmare trying to remember what songs are inside the folders.

All you really have to do is rename the .cwp file and optionally the folder name.
 
However, the old name will remain on the recent-projects list. To fix that, you'll need to edit the registry key that maintains the list. If you're comfortable using regedit, just search on the old name. They key is called "Recent File List", e.g.
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR\Platinum\Recent File List
 
I've been meaning to write a utility to do all that more easily, because I, too, start new projects under some generic name and change it later. The only reason I haven't written such a tool is that I keep thinking CW will surely add such an obvious feature to a future release!
 
(Suggestion to CW: add a context menu to the start screen, e.g. right-click on a displayed project and select "Rename Project". While you're at it, how about making the start screen resizable, so I can see all 16 entries?)

It works just as both scook and Bitflipper have said, There's never a problem re naming folders or files for me. They just won't open using the old name anymore on the quick list or start screen. 
As said, just open them dirrectly. 
Sonar works just like any windows program as far as file and folder managment go. 
You could rename using save as or just open the folder in windows explorer and make the changes. Same as a word doc or a picture.

This would make Sonar life so much easier (for me at least).
I start most song ideas with a generic name (NP2017-XXX)..
Once I've completed a song, it would be really nice to just change the name.
 

In simply rename the project and/or folder. I then manually load the project from the folder and as necessary remove the pinned older version.
