    Description

      Using Move Project one can change the location of the project folder, that is, the path up to but not including the project folder. This first led me to believe that NetBeans is not able to rename a project folder. However, Rename Project actually allows renaming of the project folder. It would be more intuitive if the "location" field in Move Project would include the project folder itself and would therefore allow to rename it as part of the move.

      That would be more consistent with the usual file system commands for moving/renaming folders, and would be more convenient in the not-so-uncommon case that both the project location and the folder name have to be changed at the same time.
