project is saved to original location after moving folder

If I move a project folder, then open and re-save the project file, it re-creates the project folder and file in the original location. The version in the new location is unchanged.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click New Project, create and select project folder ~/Desktop/project1, click Save Project
2. Close OpenShot
3. Create a new folder ~/Desktop/newfolder
4. Move ~/Desktop/project1 into ~/Desktop/newfolder
5. Open ~/Desktop/newfolder/project1/Default Project.osp with OpenShot
6. Click Save Project

Note that ~/Desktop/project1 has been re-created and contains Default Project.osp and the thumbnail folder.

Do you need to do steps 3 & 4 - can't you do a 'Save As', and save in a new location?

Andy, thanks - "Save As" does work as expected and is an effective way of moving a single project at a time. However, the observed behavior is confusingly unusual, and would be very inconvenient if you wanted to move many projects.

This also happens with OpenShot 1.4.3
