Adding "Display Name" to console edit dialog box

Issue #7491 invalid
James Squire created an issue

Coming from HyperSpin, I LOVE LaunchBox and I’ve purchased two licenses for it so far. Just one thing bugs me: the inability to choose an arbitrary display name for consoles. I cannot rename “Super Nintendo Entertainment System” to “SNES” for example without changing all the folder names. I suggest that just as you’ve added a “Sort As” field, add a “Display Name” field that by default is blank (just like Sort As). See attached mockup. I’ve seen other discussions on the forum asking about this, but I don’t know if anyone’s actually logged on to put in a formal feature request. I’d think that since it only affects the display that it could be done with minimal effort, but I’ve done my share of development and I know better than to suggest it’s easy.

    Title IS the display name, and no you don't HAVE to change folders when doing so. The wizard asks if you want to. Simply decline. If you accept it the wizard also offers to move all the media for you to the new location.
