I really appreciate and like the deck app. One little thing that may also be useful to others:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
At the moment the uploaded file has the name of the file (as expectable). It would be nice to be able to later change the filename to have a more meaningful one.

Describe the solution you'd like
The tree dot menu not only showing "Delete attachment" but also "Rename attachment"

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Renaming of the file during update in a dialogue.
  • Renaming in the File Explorer before uploading is of course possible but sometimes undesired/inconvenient and uploads by others can also not be changed

Do you mean you want the attached file to have the option of being labelled differently (at the attachment level) or the file itself renamed in storage?

NB for clarity, considering the scenario where the attached file is from the Nextcloud Files app, and the user who wants to change the label/name only has read-only rights to the stored file.

I didn't think about files that are added from nextcloud itself...
I don't really have an idea how to resolve this without any problems/inconsitencies... Maybe the easiest way would be a dialogue when uploading it from external with the possibility to rename it? Because it will go into a hidden folder, right?
Only disadvantage then is, that a later renaming is not possible which means that when someone named it inconvenient it will stay like this...

I just tried to use a file from Nextcloud itself.
For me this does not seem to be possible. I can only select "upload attachment" which is always from the local PC.
From this perspective it would be really nice to be able to use a file from nextcloud itself, such that the one in Deck is just a link to the one in the Folder view...
Should I make a feature request for that or am I just doing something wrong?

Adding files from Nextcloud is on the route map, with IIRC a dependency on upstream functionality. See #564 for more info. But although not yet available, would need to be considered for the idea of renaming files attached to a card. Maybe a better solution would be the ability to describe the attached file, like a one liner under the attached file.

Thank you for the information, would be really a nice feature.

A one line description would also be sufficient (if it is not in conflict/kind of duplicate with the idea of the comments of the usual nextcloud files)
