Allow renaming apps #102

Open molikuner opened 6 months ago

molikuner commented 6 months ago

Problem

Some apps have weird names and aren't descriptive of their purpose.

Solution

Allow users to rename apps.

Use case

Certain apps have special characters and/or non-descriptive names like for example Read You which is an RSS reader. I would like to rename it to rss reader or news or similar, instead of needing to remember this name whenever I want to open this app.

Hm, I see. Put it on the list. This requires some thinking about how to best integrate this with the UI 🤔

jsnfwlr commented 5 months ago

For integrating with the UI, I suggest adding a menu item along side the "Change Icon" option in Edit App menu. When clicked, you have a modal/dialogue that shows the app's current icon, the official name of the app, and a text input field where the user can type the name they want.

Searching for app names should search both the official and user-given name.
