williamWEWEevan opened a new issue, #8599:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/8599
### Apache Hop version?
2.20
### Java version?
21
### Operating system
Windows
### What happened?
**Bug Description:**
When adding an In Folder Project from an active project, and the user
browses to a path that contains the PATH from `standardProjectsFolder` in
`hop-config.json`, the `standardProjectsFolder` part of the path becomes the
`${PROJECT_HOME}` variable, making the project unable to open.
**Steps to replicate:**
1. Check the path in `standardProjectsFolder` in `hop-config.json`
2. Add or edit an existing project
3. Browse to the Home folder and set it to a folder that contains
`standardProjectsFolder` (ex. `standardProjectsFolder` =
`C:\Users\USER\Documents\Hop`, Home folder =
`C:\Users\USER\Documents\Hop/project_name`)
4. The `standardProjectsFolder` path in the Home folder field will become
`${PROJECT_HOME}` (ex. `${PROJECT_HOME}/project_name`)
**Images of the steps:**
The `standardProjectsFolder` in my active `hop-config` is
`C:\Users\USER\Documents\Hop`

**Possible Cause of the bug:**
When triggering `callExtensionPoint` in
`src/main/java/org/apache/hop/projects/xp/HopGuiDirectoryReplaceHomeVariable.java`,
the 2 checks preventing `HopGuiFileReplaceHomeVariable` are bypassed:
```java
String projectName = HopNamespace.getNamespace();
if (StringUtil.isEmpty(projectName)) {
return;
}
ProjectsConfig config = ProjectsConfigSingleton.getConfig();
ProjectConfig projectConfig = config.findProjectConfig(projectName);
if (projectConfig == null) {
return;
```
