In Settings > Configure digiKam > Collections, in the Collection list, at the left end of each listed Collection where the displayed Collection name is visible --- I can double-left-click the Collection name and it becomes editable --- I can edit the name but the change does absolutely nothing and the Collection name never reflects the change I made --- maybe there is a step I am missing.

I know I can click the circle thingie at the right end, and very glad that I can, but this is an involved multi-step process to accomplish a simple name change.

Thanks; your hard work is much appreciated.

Renaming collection is not possible for us. Under Windows, this can be the drive letter "C:", which we cannot rename, or under Linux, a mount path that we also do not have the rights to rename. Change your collections path in the system, adjust it in digiKam with the "Update" function. Editing the collection name is a virtual name.

The virtual Collection name is the name I was meaning; not the actual
folder name in the system.

For what it's worth, the only thing on my C-drive is the operating system;
no data whatsoever is under C.

Thanks.

Comment 3 Maik Qualmann 2023-04-01 19:38:05 UTC
The virtual renaming is only completed when the focus leaves the edit field. The example with drive "C:" was just an example.

Comment 6 Maik Qualmann 2023-04-03 17:38:22 UTC
Nothing has changed in the behavior, the real renaming of the root folder is still not possible and will not be for the reasons mentioned. I just added the version number.

Now I am confused a bit; what I am wanting to be able to easily change is
the "virtual" collection name --- not the actual name of the folder in the
system.

For example, if I am working with three collections whose actual physical
folders may be scattered all over, but I want them grouped right
side-by-side while I am working with them, I can give all three folders a
letter "A" or a letter "Z" as the first character of their virtual name and
they will display together while I work with them.

When I get the work finished, I can then remove that extra letter and the
collections return to their original place in the list.
