No Partition Names - Only Labels

[martinsteih]

Hi all,

Is there any chance to assign names to partitions? I am working with an stm32mp based board whose boot process depends on actual partition names, but I cannot figure out how to do this with Elbe.

I did fix the issue and it worked for me. If I get everything straight, it should only apply to gpt disks. Here are the changes I did:

Maybe, if it is not unwanted or deliberately left out, you may consider integrating it.
