Any way to name devices? [#17531]

[Andre_H]

Hi there,

under EXTRA => OPTIONS => ARCHIV => SHARES there is an field "Name" for the connected devices (screen: https://ibb.co/WnsmN38).

can't find any way to edit this field, would be kind of QoL improvement to name them to something like "my phone", "my tab".

maybe it's just me, but as soon as the number of devices increases, it becomes more difficult to remember MAC addresses.

Hi, good point.

There has been a bug in earlier MM5 builds that new devices were not added with their name, this has been already fixed as: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17435
and you can see the names for newly connected devices now: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i9hw14zulsp1d ... 8.png?dl=0

But you are right that there is no way to rename, this was possible in MM4 using F2 edit (in-place editing).
Fixed in build 2309 as: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17531

Confirmed to work with .2310

Good work!

Edit: The feature is still very "hidden", you have to know that a change is possible with F2, it is not displayed anywhere.
