New Ruby Application Wizard: Name and Location

In this panel of the New Ruby Application wizard, you set the name of the project and can change its default location. You can also decide not to make it the main project, and you can choose to either not create a main file or to create one with a default name, or a name you choose. When you're done, since this is the last panel, you click Finish to create the project.

You get to this panel by choosing File > New Project, and in the New Project wizard, selecting the category Ruby and the project type Ruby Application.

The panel displays the following configuration options:

Project Name. Specifies the name of the project, which is displayed in the Projects window. This name is also used to create the project folder.
Project Folder. Specifies the location where you want to store the project metadata and source code.
Set as Main Project. Sets the newly created project as the main project in the Projects window.
Create Main File. Indicates whether or not to create a main file for the Ruby application. You can change default name of this file from main.rb.
Ruby Platform. Select the platform you will use with the project from the drop-down list. If you want to use a platform other than what is displayed in the list, click Manage to open the Ruby Platform Manager.
