Sorry for the late reply. It’s unfortunately correct that this is still not supported yet, I hope we can implement such a feature soon. The cleanest way to copy a project is still [Cloning a project, there's no "save as" - #6 by grubernd](https://librepcb.discourse.group/t/cloning-a-project-theres-no-save-as/452/6).

But it’s really not that bad to just copy a whole projects directory, it shouldn’t cause real troubles. The \*.lpp file inside the directory can be renamed as desired.

Sounds like the hidden file `.librepcb-project` was not copied.
