Feature: Rename Folders

Open meichthys opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Describe the solution you'd like Ti would be nice to be able to rename folders directly in Memories.

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently we need to access the Files app to rename the folder.

Additional context Alternatively, if we had a "go to folder" button, that would help locate the folder in the Files app for quicker modification.

I want to be careful here. Technically it would be nice to have every feature of Files in Memories but this has no end + isn't maintainable.

That makes sense. Thanks for explaining. Perhaps the files sidebar may support renaming at somepoint like here: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/40775

Feel free to close this.

I'd actually really like to see this (and some other file management basics) too. I get the reluctantance to essentially recreate Files inside your app. But I think in general some of that functionality would be welcome. It seems a little clunky to be able to delete and move files, and then not to be able to do anything to the folders they're in.

For instance, I can delete all the pictures I a folder from within Memories, but then I can't delete the folder itself without leaving Memories.

Or I can move the several individually selected pictures to a folder, but I can't move one folder into another.

I think it would be helpful if the user could to do folders the same things they can already to to image files.

I'm not against having very basic functionality (for instance as you mentioned there already is file moving).

The blocker is mostly about the extra implementation and maintenance overhead. If someone is willing to implement and maintain this functionality, I'm happy to accept contributions. Otherwise this is simply low priority at the moment.

As previously mentioned on Discord, this is something I also would like so see as it would greatly speed up things when working within the photo library. Having to constantly move between Files and Memories is a pain.

I guess it should be a separate feature, but a simple bulk-renaming is also something I would really like to see. This could be useful in general in NC, but especially related to photos/image-files as one would typically rename a large set of photos taken from an event etc. with a common numbered name, e.g. xxxxxxxxx_001.
