I removed this feature because it can lead to unwanted data loss in case of
multiple project sharing. The pre-selection was too lazy and I highly doubt
that the user will read the warning dialog every time.
I still do not understand the priority. Sharing multiple projects is rare and
starting sessions over and over again in short periods is unlikely.
I think this feature should be reintroduced with a better "error prevention"
logic.

** [bugs:#850] Reusing existing project requires cumbersome manual selection**
**Status:** open
**Group:** 14.10.31
**Created:** Mon Dec 15, 2014 04:53 PM UTC by Franz Zieris

Upon accepting a session invitation, the user has the choice to create a new
project (default) or reuse an existing one (for each incoming project).
If you selected the reuse option in Saros 13.12.6 and a project with the same
name as the incoming project already existed locally, that project was selected
automatically. In 14.10.31.TESTING, the user has to click on the Browse...
button and select the project to be reused. This is especially cumbersome if
you share more than one project at once, and the recipient wants to reuse
existing projects for all of the incoming ones. (In the User Acceptance Test,
we shared the whole Saros repository with 9 projects -- selecting the local
counterparts was no fun.)
If I remember correctly, this behavior was changed when the Partial Sharing
feature was improved so that newly shared resources of an already partially
shared project can no longer be added into a different project than the one
they "belong" to. That change was totally fine, but forcing the user to select
the project to reuse manually is not.
