Renaming a feature is triggered by three different user actions:

 

•Selecting a feature from the tree view of features, and hitting F2 on the keyboard activates the rename mode for the feature directly within the feature tree view.

•Selecting a feature from the tree view of features, right clicking it, and selecting Rename from the context menu activates the rename mode for the feature directly within the feature tree view.

•Selecting a feature from the tree view of features, followed by clicking on the Feature property displayed within the details pane on the right, opens the Direct Value editor interface for this property.

 

Once the value is changed as desired, hit the enter key. RayPack checks if the new value is valid. If so, it is saved for the current session. If not, the reaction depends on the method used for renaming.

 

If the renaming was attempted inside the tree view structure of Features, RayPack displays an error icon. Hover over the icon or the invalid value to get a hint regarding the reason for the invalid value. Change the value and hit enter again to re-check. Repeat this until a valid new Feature value is saved to the session, or hit escape to return to the value that was saved before the attempt to edit failed.

 

If the renaming was attempted inside the details pane, RayPack automatically corrects the invalid value. Trying to save the value “1Feature?” triggers the auto-correction to  “_1Feature”. Feature values may not begin with digits or contain special characters. RayPack knows about those rules, and supports packagers with a lower experience level to ensure the generation of valid target packages and at the same time reduce the amount of workload required to achieve that result.
