Allow renaming of network shares

[Ezra Sharp]

Allow Network shares and SFTP/SSH etc connections to be renamed.

Possibly new icons for each connection type.

Do you mean the entries under "Network" should be renameable (apart from the built-in ones)? The problem is these names would not be persistent - they would be lost when either the share was unmounted or FIles was closed.

You can bookmark these locations by navigating to them then choosing "bookmark" from the context menu on the view. These bookmarks can be renamed persistently.

hey thats cool!

Didn't know it could do that. :P

However those "bookmarks" are still listed under "Personal" which might not make sense for a server share or SSH connection.

Mounted network shares do seem to persist after closing Files, so while they are there; I'd still like to rename them :P

Much like you can map network drives in Windows 7+.

OK, well that would require some significant changes ...
