Don't lose partially renamed text when temporarily switching window focus
Hi and Happy New Year!
This is longstanding issue which I hope you can address: When you rename a single file or package "in-place", have made changes to the name, but then temporarily switch focus away to another window without hitting enter, you lose all the changes you made to the name. So I have to remember to always hit enter before switching focus away, even if I haven't completed the rename. The typical use case is that I am switching away to another window to copy portions of the new name from somewhere else to paste in. It's a recurrent issue for me because I like to include a lot of descriptive info in the names of files and packages to aid in file searching. I don't think this the usual behavior with other applications. I'd much rather see my incomplete rename be applied then to lose everything I did and start over after switching focus. Jerry |

It's the default behaviour for applications I've tested.
Filemanager on Windows/Linux cancel rename when focus is lost. I don't know any application that stays in rename mode or applies partitial rename when focus is lost. I can only offer an optional setting to enable the partitial rename on focus lost

An optional setting to apply the partial rename would be great, at least in the Linkgrabber.
And yes, I shouldn't really talk about the usual behavior of other applications, but only the applications that I use, and I would just remark that generally, any application that works with many files ought to have this capability. So for example, XYplorer does this and so does ACDSee Pro. |

Do you rename within the table/list or in link/package property window at the bottom?

Note, that even for single files, I could just always select rename from the context menu and bring up the rename popup, but I find that more cumbersome than simply pressing F2 and entering the rename right away. A common problem I have with the popup is that I have to nearly always resize it horizontally so I can see the full name, which is usually long. Thanks for addressing this issue. |

Thanks for the feedback
The popup is too small to show the full name? Can you provide screenshot? we can try to fix that as well

I'm sorry but I'm very busy at the moment and don't find free time to work on those tickets. I will check them as soon as I can
