If one wants to use the New Project wizard with existing sources but his project contains composer.json file, it is not possible because of PHP ProjectConvertor for composer.json file. Once issue #250232 is fixed, we should be bale to allow this. Thanks.
Please up the priority on this. I cannot use "create new project" because of the mentioned composer.json file. If I try opening the project, it opens but: 1. I cannot change the project name. 2. The source directory is /star/src when it should be /star. 3. I cannot change the source directory. Temporarily renaming composer.json allows me to create a new project from sources. This should be a P1 fix.

Well, you can change it manually in nbproject/project.properties but I will file a new issue for it to be able to change it in Project Properties dialog. Thanks.

The right click rename does work but wouldn't it be better to be able to change it from the "Open project" dialogue? Surely editing nbproject/project.properties is a workaround. I just tested it with a vendor directory in a Symfony project. The source directory is correct. This problem appears when opening a new Symfony main project. The source directory is wrongly determined to be /project/src when it should be /project. The "create dialogue" can no longer be used. netbeans complains with a message "Source folder is already a netbeans project. Maybe in memory only.". When creating a project from an unreliable source such as composer.json, all project properties should be overridable from the open/create dialogue. I suggest notifying the user with a message when 'opening' a project based on composer.json. But more importantly, change the "create dialogue" to auto fill the parameters and also notify the user that they have been guessed from composer.json. I wasted 4 hours of work yesterday trying to open an existing project after it had become corrupted. If the IDE had given me any indication that it was reading the composer.json I could have resolved it in two minutes.

No, in the Open Project dialog you are opening project, not renaming it. > Surely editing nbproject/project.properties is a workaround.

You are using development build of NetBeans which, of course, contains unfinished features (like this one) or which can be even broken. Thanks for reporting.
(In reply to Tomas Mysik from comment #5) > Already reported, issue #250267. Funny, this is this issue actually :)
(In reply to Tomas Mysik from comment #5) > No, in the Open Project dialog you are opening project, not renaming it. No, there is no project to open. It is a composer.json file NOT a netbeans project. It's content should not be trusted. Creating a project from such a source is acceptable, as in auto fill editable property attributes, but converting it to a project is not. > Already reported, issue #250267. That is this issue.

We agreed on this NB behavior and think that it is correct, sorry. > That is this issue. Already noticed that, see my previous comment. Thanks.
The new ProjectConvertors.isConvertorProject(p) can be used to exclude artificial projects.
Cannot still be fixed, more information in issue #250268. Attaching proposed fix. Thanks.
