There was a bug in the previous version of Drafft that caused some projects to have a wrong/empty dbname value. This caused and issue when trying to load or delete the project.

Although the issue was fixed in the latest version, it is still possible to encounter this problem if you have old projects in your Drafft folder.

Identify the Problematic Projects

If you notice that in the project manager some projects have a different Database Name than the project title, it is very possible that this project might be corrupted and cannot be deleted or loaded properly.

Example of a Problematic Project

If the project title is "My Project", the database name should be drafft_2_my_project. If the Database Name show any other value this indicates a mismatch that could lead issues.
