Description

I really appreciate and like the deck app. One little thing that may also be useful to others:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
At the moment the uploaded file has the name of the file (as expectable). It would be nice to be able to later change the filename to have a more meaningful one.

Describe the solution you'd like
The tree dot menu not only showing "Delete attachment" but also "Rename attachment"

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Renaming of the file during update in a dialogue.
  • Renaming in the File Explorer before uploading is of course possible but sometimes undesired/inconvenient and uploads by others can also not be changed

Research direction

Start at the attachment tree's dot menu and trace the existing “Delete attachment” flow. Check how attachment names are stored and displayed before deciding whether the requested rename and description need both UI and persistence changes; done means an uploaded attachment can be renamed and the new label remains visible after reload.
