Rename ports?

Open mxmilkiib opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Via a 'Rename' option in the click-click menu on a port in the Patchbay, and maybe in the Edit dialog in an Input/Output tabs?

Real rename is not something I want to try to do, would becomes quite complex too easily. But perhaps adding an alias or pretty-name on top of a port could work. Carla is already (ab)using JACK metadata for all its canvas data, so this would be just a tiny 'nother thing.. :)

so, maybe for a v2.3

@falkTX Is there a way to bring this metadata add/rename feature into the next build? I have over 20 Inputs called Capture 1, capture 2 etc. a simple label would really help :(

In QJackCtl under GRAPH its actually possible to rename the input outputs and it asks if it should save the aliases before closing. It would be enough if Carla would just show these aliases. So we could use the existing function to rename inside QJackCtl but see the results inside Carla ... qjackctl_NHOoLfyIOS

Would be great. +1
