New ContributorRename Platfor Designer system
I am using Quartus 18.1.2 Pro edition and unfortunately archiving system is doing exactly what it is in its name - gather all .ip and .qsys files in zip file, unzipping doesn't change anything.
Only way that I found is by manually rename every IP in system by right click ->"Rename IP Variant File ...", then move all sub IP's files to folder with new name, then by right click ->""Edit Generic Component" set new IP's files paths manually for every file and then at the end change main .qsys file name manually in operating system.
For bigger systems it is lot of clicking, is there simpler way (question from first post)?
New ContributorHi,
I think "Edit->rename system" or at least "file->save as" would be ok. In my scenario renaming was necessary because names of generated files was to long for Modelsim to handle. Other basic scenario is creating new system based on existing - copied and renamed .qsys system will use same components as original. Maybe in general add an option to include some chosen (like "Clock/Reset Bridge") or all IP's to main qsys file like it is in standard edition.

Where are we 3years later?
In 2022, it's still impossible to rename a qsys file... what's wrong with Intel?!
We can't even save a copy since it's greyed-out:
