Change folder to project or vice versa?
 
If it has been already asked, forgive me but I was not able to find it. I wonder if I can convert folders to projects or the other way around as well.

Thanks,
SL

Nothing built-in to do it for you, but it isn't hard to do it by hand.

[B]Converting a folder to a project:[/B]
[LIST=1][*]Go to the sidebar, select the name of the folder and press cmd-C to copy it to the clipboard.[*]Use File->Add Project to create a new project. Press cmd-V to paste the folder's name.[*]Drag the newly created project outside the folder.[*]Now select the contents of the folder, and drag and drop them on the newly created project.[*]Remove the empty folder.[/LIST]Each project in the folder will be converted to an action (if empty) or action group in the new project.
