Thanks for opening this @jankeromnes! Since this feature request is probably be coming from the lack of information clarity and context awareness on previous workspaces list, let's hold this back a bit and keep this open for further discussion.

A good next step would be to first improve the Workspaces list and more specifically the Context column with more useful and clear information following the initial specs, see #3594.

Thanks again, @gtsiolis. #3594 looks talking about the second column "Content" to me to date.

This issue seems talking about the first column "Name". I am not sure why a user should see blue-hamster-7890abcd in bold? (which cannot be changed as discussion here and #3727 (comment)) To get supported easier???

[tnir]

Not sure how many users are using multiple workspaces for a single repo. Only those who use many workspaces for a single repo might need to rename workspace 😁

[pattacini]

Actually in the past the rename workspace was actually acting on the context @tnir, which is perfectly fine to me.

Not allowing workspaces names can limit the value of Share Workspace Snapshot. Why should I be forced to use another developers naming structure if I am being sent a snapshot of a project?

For reference I am also speaking about the Name in the Context Column.

Is this still pending? Or developing? This would look like an advantage over GitHub Codespaces to me.

Nothing seems to get updated with these guys. Services go out a lot though. Looking into new options because the support and stability are questionable with gitpod at this point.

It's a shame because I fundamentally like the product.

We should add an action "Edit Description" to the drop down menu for a workspace entry. Clicking it will open a dialog that shows the current description in a text field. Two buttons allow to either cancel or save.

@Poonam11Dwivedi Hi, you can click on the dropdown on the right-side of the /workspaces page and choose Rename. There is an option to delete there too.
