Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

It would be very nice to have the ability to rename a file that is found in an entry's file list. Where it can be downloaded or deleted, being able to rename would be very useful.

Why would this be helpful?

The usefulness is that to rename files, you'd have to access the filesystem directly and then rescan the entry to update it. Only the system maintainer should have access to the file system directly, so if people are allowed to upload remotely, being able to rename without accessing the file system would allow for others to make sure things are formatted, organized, named correctly. As it is, the transcode option to make an M4B file will result in renaming the file to the title of the entry, though my pattern is to be Title - Author - Reader.m4b

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Add a Rename option in the individual 3-dot file menu options where currently Download and Delete are.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

2.32.1
