Description

Expected Behavior

When I saved my first file, as per the text tutorial "Getting Started", I named the folder "Tutorial_Step_1" instead of "Sketchbook" on accident, and I expected that I could change the file name later on.

Current Behavior

From that point forward the program only saves my sketches in the file named Tutorial_Step_1. When I tried to change the name it renamed itself back. So now I'm not sure what to do because my sketches are not saving into the file accessible in the program under "File: Sketchbook". A window is coming up but it reads "Empty Sketch book".

Steps to Reproduce

  1. In the text tutorial explain that the file for sketches can only be named once.
  2. Maybe make it possible to change the destination file name.

Possible Causes / Solutions

I'm new to coding so my perspective diagnosis range is very limited. From an user standpoint, the instructions can be clearer and more interactive to the new learner.
