To be clear, the bug is filed as an FYI/request to please not cleanup old until this gets fixed and to make the maintainer aware of the upstream bug.

Thanks for the information.
I'll going to open an PR for the latest 2.2.51 soon, maybe this would already fix this issue (even though the release notes doesn't hint on such problem)

I have emerged the 2.2.51 version here in local overlay to recheck, and happens here as well. Added a update to the github tracking bug.

Could narrow the issue down to that GNS3 version 2.2.51 when using the "Save project as..." button takes the GNS3 "project_id" variable for the new projects directory name instead of the GNS3 varialbe called "name".

These are the steps to reproduce this.

* Create completely fresh GNS3 project, directory name created correctly:

----

pwd
/home/needle/GNS3/projects/sandbox-00

head sandbox-00.gns3
{
    "auto_close": true,
    "auto_open": false,
    "auto_start": false,
    "drawing_grid_size": 25,
    "grid_size": 75,
    "name": "sandbox-00",
    "project_id": "c2718184-9091-45d9-80c6-12e945ceddf9",
    "revision": 9,
    "scene_height": 1000,

----

* Stop this current newly created project
* Use the GNS3 File->"Save project as..."
* Give some meaningful name for the project, in example "sanbox-01"
* Saved as project is created, but the directory is named like following:

----

pwd
/home/needle/GNS3/projects/1119c664-eec1-4ab5-9cf5-bcfe6afd2f00


{
    "auto_close": false,
    "auto_open": false,
    "auto_start": false,
    "drawing_grid_size": 25,
    "grid_size": 75,
    "name": "sandbox-01",
    "project_id": "1119c664-eec1-4ab5-9cf5-bcfe6afd2f00",
    "revision": 9,
    "scene_height": 1000,

Hoping GNS3 users can reproduce this issue described here.

Correcting typo in entry directly above. Forgot to add the command head.

    "auto_open": false,
    "auto_start": false,
    "drawing_grid_size": 25,
    "grid_size": 75,
    "name": "sandbox-01",
