Description crimcat 2009-04-25 22:30:33 UTC
Hello,

Let's create a C/C++ project (for example, C/C++ application). Then, try to add a logical folder: right click on the
project root and select 'New Logical Folder'. Then, you can have a 'New Folder 1' created.
Basically, you need to rename it to another name, more suitable for your needs. But, instead of having an inplace rename
editor, you have to invoke the menu again (right click) to rename this folder.
I think, this is a usability issue: better ask for a new logical folder name at creation time, rather than renaming it
after.

Completely agree with in-place renaming mode after creation, but, please!, no modal dialog just for entering name

fixed in 6.9
Comment 4 Vladimir Voskresensky 2010-06-02 05:17:07 UTC
in-place rename is still absent
Comment 5 Thomas Preisler 2010-06-02 05:21:47 UTC
you are right....
Comment 6 Thomas Preisler 2010-06-02 17:51:39 UTC
Just checked that in-place renaming actually do work for logical folders. Just click on the new folder after it has been created and you can rename it in place. Steps to create a logical folder is now identical to steps for creating folders in other (Files) views and in other projects. Will close as fixed.

I'm reopening the bug. We will fix it once 182427 has been fixed and NetBeans has adopted the usage pattern of setting the node in editing mode for newly created objects. Today we are following the current usage pattern used throughout NB.

In-place renaming is working for logical folders now.
