Select Project Dialog

The select project dialog allows the user to open, create, rename, and delete projects as well as license Synthesis and set program preferences.

The Select Project Dialog (see Figure) shows a list of existing projects with buttons to open, rename, or delete the selected project. The user can also create a new empty project. There are buttons to access the Preferences Dialog and Register Synthesis.
