How to rename a project?

Jalview Discussion
1

Is there any way to rename .jar projects? And with name here, I mean
the title of the window. I Would like to rename if from "Cut and paste
input" or the original filename (including path) that the sequences came
from. Is this possible?

There's no way to do this (currently) from the jalview UI, but if you
know how to open/unpack a zip archive (the .jar file is just this) and
repack it again, then you could open the .xml file corresponding to the
alignment title, and edit the /JalviewModel/vamsasModel/Viewport@title
attribute inside the XML document (for alignments with multiple views,
edit the viewName attribute to change each view's name).

hope it helps
