I am working on a rust script that will all but select folders (such as a specific perspective view) and copy them over from one project, and create a new project with all the same files. For some reason though ignition can't recognize the new files as a project. The only thing I can tell that is missing is the global-props folder with data.bin and resources.json. Is that needed for ignition to recognize the project as a project? Please help
Nevermind you do not need those files. For anyone who has a similar issue later on, you just have to wait 5 - 10 minutes tops for the gateway to discover the project files.
If you are on a modern enough version you can call system.project.requestScan to manually request Ignition to rescan the projects directory.

For clarity, the definition of "a project" is "a folder in the projects directory that contains a valid project.json manifest file inside of it". All other content below that is optional, though several files, including the global-props resource, will be automatically recreated by Ignition/the Designer as soon as you attempt to interact with the project.
Thank you
