Menu: Save as project

Creating a new folder in the commondiag window

Naming the folder "Hash-test", validating

Filling the folder name field with "hash test" as name for my project (mistake, I know now that I'm reviewing each points)

On save :

Check failure!  This is probably a bug:

Saving project to folder that does not exist

Condition: FileExists(project_folder.c_str())
File: Projects\Project.cpp
Line: 420
Function: void __thiscall Project::SaveToNewFolder(const class std::basic_string<wchar_t,struct std::char_traits<wchar_t>,class std::allocator<wchar_t> > &)
Build: release 49 (32-bit) checked
Component: Construct 2 IDE
(Last Win32 error: 2)

The folder exists though. In fact the first few times I tried creating a folder and saving a project in it, to me, I had to fill the field with the name of my project (I hadn't paid enough attention to the label of the field).

Egh, this is really stupid. It's a bug in Windows. If you create a new folder, type a new name, and immediately click "OK" while the folder name edit box is still up, it returns a path to a folder called "New Folder", rather than the new name you typed in. I played with it a bit, trawled over the docs, and checked Google, but no answers. So I've "fixed" it in the next build - it just re-launches the dialog in that situation. Stupid solution but it's all I can find that works.
