[Enhancement] Ability to rename elements in plugin chain
As you forming a todo list for new Qt port, it's lovely to see rename feature for filter chain elements. that would be handy in use with Sonusmix, for example, when I can assign unique, not repetitive names for plugins to create multiple sinks for each audio filtering case (compressed audio for browser/not compressed for player, for example). Thank you for your work.
I think a long time ago someone asked for this. As useful as this can be the truth is that quite a lot of our code will become a lot more complicated if we let users mess with the filter node names. Some operations are more straightforward to do if we use the node name. But letting the user changing this obviously complicates things.
The most that could happen would be to let the user to change the node description as we do not use it for anything. But that requires some graphical interface rework. We have to allow the description to be edited by the user and somehow save and keeping track of that when loading presets or manually removing/adding plugins.
It is not impossible. But definitely not on the top of our priorities list.
