I can never find my project because I see so many with the same name

If you don’t set Scrivener to automatically zip your backup, and use timestamp, opening the backup project adds the timestamp to the project’s name. Backup that and reopen it a few times…

You’ll end up with:
ProjectName-bak-Timestamp-bak-Timestamp-bak-Timestamp-bak-Timestamp-bak-Timestamp.scrivx

Having Scrivener to automatically zip the timestamped backup adds an extra layer of folder (which gets the timestamp) that prevents this.
