title says it all, I guess.
I'm glad I noticed it without losing anything.
Besides that I'm having a lot of fun!
Opening other project does not ask to save

Oh, I see. Then it's at least "misleading". "Replacing" the project, what I understood as "opening another project" discards any unsaved changes without any warning or comment.
As an idea: Could you add a warning or change the button to be a "save and replace" button?

Yes, I think probably four clear options would be good:
- Open additional project
- Save then Replace current project
- Replace current project without Save
- Cancel
Most often, I only want one project open at a time. So I'll want to save then open the next project. Currently, this takes an extra, manual step.

Four options will make it a very wide dialog, not ideal.
Another option is to ask "Save before replace" after having clicked "Replace this project", but that's not ideal either. That said i do understand that the current situation also is not ideal, especially for a new user. I've taken note about this and will reflect/decide later.

The extra pop-up seems a common one in other software, to be fair - and it does make it very explicit.

Here is my proposal:This is just a single dialog with a short question and
only few simple options
Code: Select all (#)
