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 ContributorFrom Platform Designer, select: File -> Export System as Platform Designer Script (.tcl)...
You can edit the resulting tcl script to change the names/paths as desired. If you are lucky and the name is unique enough, a simple global substitution in your favorite text editor will be enough.
I was able to globally replace "qsys_top" in one of Altera's example designs (GHRD for the Agilex7) with a new name using this technique.
