Rename a file when it's open in Text

Open nimishavijay opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Sometimes I want to quickly create a text file to take some notes, and when I want to change its name later, I have to:

  1. close the file,
  2. find the file in the files list
  3. go to the 3 dot menu of the file
  4. select rename
  5. type the new name
  6. press enter/click elsewhere.

This is a long and possibly not so intuitive process.

Describe the solution you'd like Be able to rename files from within Text itself.

Many products have this feature. ex. Google Docs

Notion

MS Office

https://github.com/nextcloud/text/assets/52440189/ec3a27a0-dd9a-4d29-90eb-0b476280393a

In a similar way, clicking on the name of the file in Text could allow renaming.

Describe alternatives you've considered Add a rename item in the top right action menu

This probably needs to be implemented in the viewer, could also be useful for other types like pdf.

Closing this as duplicate of https://github.com/nextcloud/viewer/issues/2079 then. :)
