Change the exp name just by clicking on the name in column

[maxagin]

This is a kinda fast way to help users to have custom information about the experiment. Please let’s discuss this idea. Thanks

Note: we finally will remove the plots toggle on the name and will use just a circle to toggle plots.

Good idea. The problem is that names are provided and stored in DVC. @dberenbaum @pmrowla is there a way to change them after / where do we store them now?

Not a big fan of this, since circles are too small. So if we do this - it will be a trade off.

I really hope we will be able to move forward with the standard eye concept. Which to my mind is the most user-friendly solution.

to move forward with the standard eye concept.

yes, it's not that easy to implement + it will be taking even more space (eyes, checkboxes, stars) + you are biased a bit - when I talk to people who do not come from design that sometimes are not that familia with this concept

I am parry:

The icons width 18x18px. It looks very compact I think.

@maxagin trust me, I've seen this :) And trust me I still had some feedback that an eye icon is not that clear.

[maxagin]

Good @shcheklein . We are going to make sure to guide the user ("Explain that circle triggering plots"), even using current circles. The same will work for the eye (if we will decide to have it). So I think that the icon is less important.

Regarding the:

We could hide the name without modifying it, and display a sort of "description" field visually same as the title. Keeping always the DVC name + a new editable field. Just thinking in loud. WDYT?

[shcheklein]

We should try to avoid having too different layouts / names between the extension and the dvc exp show. If I see the names I kinda expect to have them in CLI as well.

Sure. EXP description - a new field for CLI. It is just for GUI will appear instead of the title. WDYT?

Sorry, it is my bad. I hope we will have the description one day, so it is better to change the name of the exp I think.

I'm not sure I understand this tbh.

There's no existing command (see iterative/dvc#6667), but I think it would be helpful, and I doubt it's hard to implement since it should be possible by adding/removing git refs. cc @karajan1001

I think it's not very hard to implement, but still need some time to finish it.
