How to change the name of the generated STM32IDE project generated by a TouchGFX project.

How do you change the name of the STM32F4 project that is generated by TouchGFX? I don't see an option to do it in the GUI of TouchGFX because the field for the application name is greyed out:

This is not yet possible within TouchGFX, but it will hopefully change in the near future.

In the meantime, there is an option to rename the entire project by:

  • make a backup copy of the files .ioc, .touchgfx, ApplicationTemplate.touchgfx.part, .cproject, .project, e.g. by adding .bak to the filename
  • rename the files .ioc, .touchgfx to PRJNAME_NEW.*
  • edit PRJNAME_NEW.ioc with a text editor and do a find and replace of all PRJNAME_OLD with PRJNAME_NEW
  • repeat the last step with the files .touchgfx, ApplicationTemplate.touchgfx.part, .cproject, .project

Enjoy the new name even after opening the project in STM32CubeIDE!
