🔖 Feature description
rename a share through the web interface.
🎤 Pitch
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Yes. Once a share is created, it's currently not possible to rename it through the web interface. This can be problematic when:
- The share name was mistyped or needs clarification
- A naming convention evolves (e.g. for projects or clients)
- Users manage dozens of shares and need to keep things organized
The only workaround right now is to delete and recreate the share — or manually edit the database, which is unsafe and not user-friendly.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a simple "Rename" option in the web interface (e.g. next to "Delete" and "Edit"). Ideally, this would allow the user to:
- Change the display name (
namefield) of the share - Keep the
idand associated files untouched - Update instantly in the UI and database
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, I have to:
- Open the container
- Install SQLite manually
- Locate the DB file
- Update the
Sharetable manually - Restart the container
This is not sustainable for regular usage or for non-technical users.
Additional context
- Pingvin Share version: [vX.Y.Z or latest]
- Running via Docker
- Suggesting this as a low-effort but high-impact improvement to the UX
Thanks a lot for your great work on Pingvin Share! It's a brilliant lightweight tool, and this feature would make it even more user-friendly.
