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

RE: PrusaLink option to nickname printer for browser tab title
Although PrusaLink does not have a direct "nickname" field for the browser tab title, you can accomplish this by renaming the printer in Prusa Connect's settings or by using browser features like tab grouping/bookmarking with custom names. This is because users have asked for a nickname feature to improve identification with multiple printers. Nicknames are helpful for differentiating tabs because the PrusaLink web interface currently utilizes the printer's hostname or default name. To Add a Nicknames For Darkhumor (Prusa Connect is the Suggested Method):Visit Prusa Connect: Go to the Prusa Connect website by opening your web browser.Choose Your Printer: From your list of devices, locate and choose the particular printer you wish to rename.Access Configurations: Enter the printer's settings.Alternative (Browser-Based): Bookmark/Tab Grouping: You can save a bookmark for each printer's PrusaLink URL and give it a meaningful name (such as "My Resin Printer" or "PLA Printer") if modifying the tab title in Connect doesn't work. These can then be easily identified by opening them in tab groups. Why This Is Required:The default "Dashboard - PrusaLink" title becomes confusing when there are numerous printers, and a nickname makes it easier to immediately distinguish which tab belongs to which machine. This is why users have requested this functionality.
