Yes, it's possible but I think it's more work to do it in the project 
manager plugin.

In order to detect this, I need to store the project name somewhere like 
the symbol database. Probably the best solution is in anjuta session 
file. Then, when the project is loaded I need to compare this value to 
the current project directory if it's different I know that the project 
has been renamed and I need to send a warning to the symbol-db plugin. I 
think I could set a flag somewhere telling that the project has been 
renamed.

I think it's better to move this code in the symbol-db plugin because 
the project manager doesn't care if the project has been renamed. It 
will avoid to store the last project name somewhere else as it's already 
in the database and to send a warning to another plugin.


But I think the best solution, if you really need it, would be to use a 
special name in the database like "." meaning the name of the directory 
where is the database. Now in the comment of symbol_db_engine_open_db, 
it is said explicitly that the project name is not saved in the 
database. Perhaps it's only an additional check that is failing. The 
database itself seems to work when I have renamed the project directory.
