If i add a SMB path to "remote", it gives me the ability to assign a label. However, with NFS locations, there is no abilty to add a label, instead, it shows in the name the full path to the directory, which is ugly. For example, one of my NFS places is named "/home/N-1", i would like to add an alias and call it "NAS-1" instead, like i can with SMB places.

It would be good enough to at least only show the name of the folder, in my example's case "N-1", instead of showing the full path. But ofc a label would be nicer.
I noticed that it is possible to mount samba partitions too, the same as NFS partitions, and they have the same problem, showing the full path instead of only the name of the folder. I changed the title of the report acordingly.
If you're manually mounting these shares with /etc/fstab, I'm afraid that's not supported. See this: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/issues/64 The supported way of mounting shares is through Dolphin. Unfortunately, nfs:// lacks support in Gears 6, see https://discuss.kde.org/t/help-needed-with-nfs-shares-in-dolphin/12909 With that said, I can see how adding the ability to use labels on these kinds of entries in Places. I don't know how difficult or feasible this would be, I'll let the Dolphin developers make that call

I don't know how difficult or feasible this > would be, I'll let the Dolphin developers make that call Thank you for your answer. I ditched NFS for SMB. Still, "real" mounts for SMB act the same way as NFS mounts. By "real" i mean the remote folder acts as if part of the local computer (ie simply /home/N-1). The smb:// "mounts" are not as useful, as many apps don't have access, can't open terminal there, and there's no trash bin compatibility. But i guess all of this would need a different report as a feature request.
I've also had to switch over to samba shared in my own home network, rather than use nfs, due to the latter's issues I also agree that having remote mounts be able to be as usable as when mounted via /etc/fstab or nfs would be great, and that would have to be a separate issue. Please open a feature request for that, you are certainly not the first KDE user to express that.
