Unable to edit names / FlatCAM beta

[Steven Falivene]

I was using 8.992 but it kept on hanging when opening projects. I just upgraded to 8.993 and it works well so far but I can not change the names of gerber, geometry or CNC files. This was very useful when I made different version settings of the same gerber because I would put the key settings in the file name. Now I do not know what settings were used

Hello Steven,

This is not a bug but a design change.
In FlatCAM beta 8.993 I disabled the object renaming done in the tree from Project Tab, because it annoyed me when doing selections and it was also redundant. You can still rename the objects in their ‘Properties’ section, meaning the Selected Tab → Name line entry.

Yet, another user wanted this back so in the next version there will be a setting in the Edit → Preferences to control this behavior. The default will still be to disable the Tree items editability but the user can turn it ON/OFF anytime he wants.

Best,
Marius

Fixed in the working copy and the fix will be available in FlatCAM beta 8.994.
