Created attachment 157817 [details] copy screens Hi, Which menu allows you to rename the "parent" name of an album specified during configuration ? Album / Rename is greyed out ! Example rename : "Archives Numérique" in "WD 3To 2019 - Archives Numérique". Best regard
The parent album in your screenshot is the root album collection. Go to Setup Collections for details: https://docs.digikam.org/en/setup_application/collections_settings.html Best regards
You are right, the screenshot is one of the root album collections. However, a right click on this name opens a contextual menu which does not offer the rename option unlike the rest of the tree structure. From the "Collection Settings" screen we expect to have this functionality using the same logic. But a right click is inactive! It is by chance that I have just discovered that a double click allows the selection of the content, its modification - therefore the renaming - and if desired, a contextual menu by right click with various other options… Wouldn't it be appropriate to keep the same ergonomics? I let you decide. Best regards Note that I am using Digikam under Windows 10.
I just explained why it's not possible in Bug 468041. You can change the "virtual" name in the collection settings by double-clicking, but this does not change the folder on the disc. Here is my text again von Bug 468041: 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. Maik
This post is only about changing the "virtual" name in the collection settings. Proceeding in the same way via a contextual menu throughout the program rather than by double-clicking in certain screens would make use easier for an average user. There is no question of changing the location or the name of the folder imported into the Digikam catalog. Best regards
