Description

Feature Request: View of multiple receive addresses for wallet and name of each address for tracking received funds.

Currently, when I generate a new address to receive funds on, I lost the old address, although it is still in the wallet.

I'd like to be able to view or any created addresses, which get shared with others to send me funds. I would also like to be able to provide nicknames to inform me of what the addresses were used for.

This is similar to what other coins provide in their wallet apps.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing wallet receive-address generation flow and the UI that displays the current address. Check how generated addresses are retained and presented; done means previously generated receive addresses are visible and each can display a user-provided nickname.
