Function Idea: Why not having a file (title) rename function?

I'm often printing different things in the same project and in the end all my titles are the same. So I don't know which print is hiding behind the same title and would like to rename some prints in the print history or queue. Would be great to do it right in Prusa Slicer, or?

Why not just save the gcode file with a more practical name for each model/print?

Site, but imagine you’re not just printing one item a day, but adding more models to the project. After focusing on all the important settings, you choose one of your printers and eagerly start the print job. After the third print, you suddenly realize that the project is still named after what you initially called it, and unfortunately, that’s the wrong name. Now you have three prints with the same project name, and you’re left with either accepting it or deleting the prints. It’s a shame, really, because you could tidy up afterward in PRUSA Connect and update the missing labels, especially while the prints are still running.

Why not just give them a different name when you save/send to printer? Maybe there's a subtlety here we're missing?

You’re right, of course, you can still edit the name when you submit the print. However, there are many reasons why one might not think of it at that moment. Or you might optimize the print with three fine adjustments but always gave it the same name. I think a rename option in the print list in PRUSA Connect would be a nice feature to perfectly maintain your print history for easy reprinting.
