PrusaLink option to nickname printer for browser tab title

Feature request for PrusaLink: add an option to the web interface to set a nickname for the printer. The nickname should then show both in the web page near the top somewhere and also at the start of the browser tab title.

Currently the browser tab title is "Dashboard - PrusaLink" which is confusing when there are 2+ printers because there's no super easy way to at a glance see which is which, apart from memorizing the LAN ip or remembering in what order each tab was openened.

I recommend google chrome tab groups or pinning tabs

Thanks for the suggestion. That workaround may be ok in some cases, but an option in PrusaLink to set the tab title for each printer would be much better for my use case.

One month after posting and no reply from anyone at Prusa. Is there a GitHub repo for PrusaLink where I can create an issue in  the hopes of getting a prusa dev to look at this?

The project consists of multiple repos and I guess the best one would be https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Link-Web

I agree, setting a nickname for each printer in PrusaLink would be incredibly useful for those managing multiple printers. It's a feature that would streamline my workflow significantly.

I did a bit of digging and found that the Prusa-Link-Web repository is indeed where the front-end aspects of PrusaLink are managed. If you’re interested in this feature, you might want to file an issue there to bring it to the attention of the developers.

Here’s a suggestion on how to file an issue effectively:

  1. Title: Feature Request: Add Printer Nickname Option for Browser Tab Title
  2. Description: Detail your use case and explain how this feature would benefit users. Mention how the current setup can be confusing with multiple printers and suggest that a custom nickname appearing in the tab title would be helpful.

Additionally, if anyone has some coding skills and is up for it, maybe we can even collaborate on a pull request to propose this change directly.

Let’s keep this thread alive and hope the devs see it soon!
