Double click renaming of layers/shapes not working



  • I'm still having problems getting the double-click with modifier to work to rename sublayers and groups. Here is a video

    I can rename them in every other way, just not using the double click-modifier method, which is a shame because it's awesome!

    Also, there is still what appears to be a spelling error in the "rename objects" panel unless it's a word I'm unfamiliar with.
    Should "numered" be "numbered"?

    Here is the file i used if that helps.

  • Strangely enough disabling "double click renames" in panel options makes the preferences -> document editor -> double click setting work.

    In either case: Right click selection of layers -> Rename objects FTW



  • @Ingolf Hmmm it's not working that way for me.
    "double click renames" in panel options is already disabled and it's NOT letting my document editor > double click setting work correctly
    I also tested turning it back on and it did not change anything with the double click modifier

    "In either case: Right click selection of layers -> Rename objects FTW" You got your victory there! lol
    The right click selection of layer> rename objects does work - but isn't that more work to get to than double clicking the layer? lol

    haha yes, but not all shortcuts are created equal. I am restraining myself from giving it a keyboard shortcut if I can double click on the layer already, or use the double click modifier 🙂



  • I mixed things up. I think it works as advertised here.



  • @vectoradmin Testing this out more. If I turn off "double click renames" in the layer panel menu, I CAN rename using the double-click+ shift - but I cannot rename using the double click sans modifier or the double click + option. I also notice that even when I get the name to work, if I go to rename another vector sublayer, and give it the same name as the pulldown first name, it does not add a 1 or a 2 after it. If I group two items and then select them and double-click +shift to rename, it will not rename the group at all, just one of the shapes that is grouped.
    I also noticed if I cannot do a task, nothing is registering in the history panel either.
    I have not gone through every tool and every key combo in full, but each time I try it i get different results and never are they always doing what they are supposed to
    Are there other preferences I need set a certain way?

    @Boldline @Ingolf I add this to the backlog. It looks like double click changes selection first.
    Also: there is a bug in renaming.

    @Boldline This problem should be fixed now.
