Re: updated project not overwriting old one

Is that your Mutiny project that is showing the problem?  And is the one with only a couple of comments the latest version you just uploaded?

yes. i think i may have uploaded a demo called mutiny and then deleted ita while ago. i replied on a message on it along time ago, when it was still a demo. it might somehow updated the deleted project. i think that happened to another one of my projects. i always delete tests. i want to just delete the new mutiny because i only fixed a little glitch, but i'm not sure if the old one will get deleted.

Re: updated project not overwriting old one

Right, I understand your concern...it would be a shame to delete the wrong one and lose all those loveits and great comments.  Let me write up a bug ticket on it see if somebody can straighten this out.

Just to be clear:  Ultimately, you want the one with very few comments to be deleted and the ability to upload new versions to the one with many comments.

Re: updated project not overwriting old one

I did some testing on this and found that I could replicate the situation by doing this:

1. Upload a project called "A" and another called "B"

2. On the website, rename "A" to "B" - Surprisingly, it will let you do this!  So now you have two projects called "B"

3. Delete the project formerly known as "A" (it will have the lower project number since it uploaded first) leaving you with just one project "B"

4. Now, attempt to update the remaining project by uploading another project called "B" - instead, it will update the deleted project formerly known as "A" and make it visible again (remove it's deleted status). 

To me this looks exactly like what you are seeing.  Did you do some project renaming with the original Demo version?  If so, maybe that is how you ended up in this mess.  It has been entered into the Bug list for fixing...probably by not allowing one project to be renamed to the name of another.

I tried deleting the mysterious reappearing project (formerly known as "A") and was able to do so without disturbing the other project so probably it is safe for you to delete your mystery project.  But you might want to wait until Andres has a chance to look at it to be extra cautious.

Glad to hear it.  It will probably come back if you try and update the project again...unless you rename the project first (you could rename it back afterwards).
