Bug Description
In "bluetooth" panel of the settings there are connected/
There should be an option to "rename" the device to a string set by the used. There is such an option in MacOS.
In my use case I own several Bluetooth rechargeable headsets. They need to be charged for 4 hours to allow for 6-8 hours of use. So I own several copies to have entire-day coverage.
In real world the headsets are distinguishable by the state of cushions, but quite often I have one headset connected, but I do not know which one is it. If I could rename:
Philips SHB7150
Philips SHB7150
Philips SHB7150
Philips SHB7150
to e.g.
Philips SHB7150 - mint cushions
Philips SHB7150 - worn cushions
Philips SHB7150 - extra battery
Philips SHB7150 - number 4
this would be very helpful.
This is not really a "bug" but a missing functionality.
