Naming the Chat

[kferrone]

Describe the feature

I'm using the experimental history feature for chats. I like how I can name the chats so I can reference some of the good ones later and remove the junk ones. I really want to be able to name the chat in the chat. Right now I have to go into the history and there is a big list of chats named New Chat. I have to go through them, find one I want and remember how far down in the list it was. I have already lost a chat because I renamed the 15th down instead of the 14th one in the list, then removed a bunch of New Chat.

All I'm asking for is an editable name option in the chat box itself, instead of just rename option in the history list. Or at least auto discover the name by the first few words in the first message.

Any chance this can happen. It is still very difficult to search through all of the chats named New Chat. Where even is the source code for this?

One suggestion until we address this feedback: Open the globalstorage folder in a new vscode instance and search through your past conversations by <conversation_id>.genie.json files. Update the name field from New chat to whatever you prefer. The changes on the file will be reflected automatically in the conversation history list.

You can find your own globalstorage folder for Genie extension here: (Windows) %APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\genieai.chatgpt-vscode

OR if you are using a different flavor of the vscode follow this structure to find the directory: Windows: %APPDATA%/Code/User/globalStorage/genieai.chatgpt-vscode MacOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/[Visual Studio ]Code[ - Variant]/User/globalStorage/genieai.chatgpt-vscode

This is a valid request for people who rely on the conversation history a lot. Thanks for bringing this up.

I think it would be really useful an auto-name-chat feature that for example uses the first x characters of the first message.
