For what it's worth, chances are that may work fine, but this issue
happens when creating a project from Eclipse. If I then set that value
and rename all my files and folders to what I wanted in the first
place, the Ada Project Explorer in Eclipse gets totally lost.

It's so phenomenally frustrating; I can't see that I'm doing anything
particularly odd or unusual, yet every time I try to use GNATBench it
just seems to put all sorts of obstacles in my way instead of just
working!

Maybe it's just me!

Oh dear. Seemed like such a good idea.

You're using the paid for version though aren't you? Perhaps that just
works better!
