Rename a Shortcut

The PackDesigner mode Visual Designer contains a Shortcut view with a list of all objects stored within a packaging projects Shortcut table. To rename a shortcut by using this view interface, users have the following options at hand:
 

Within the list of shortcuts, right-click any item, and select Rename from the context menu.

Within the list of shortcuts, left-click any item, and hit F2 on the keyboard.
 
Either way, the shortcut name is set into direct inline edit mode, and starting to type immediately changes the name.
Hit Enter on the keyboard to trigger the automatic input validation procedure, and save the new name.
Use Escape to restore the former item name.
 

Within the list of shortcuts, left-click any item to load its properties into the edit form on the right hand side. The uppermost row of the details area displays the shortcut name. Double-click the name or click on the edit icon right next to it to use the Direct Value Editor for changes on the shortcut name.
 

The name of a shortcut is automatically defined by RayPack when the wizard for new shortcut objects calculates the properties for the new shortcut object according to the given user input.

 
If users manually change the shortcut name to an invalid value (e.g., any name containing special characters such as slash (/), colon (:), or question mark (?)), RayPack applies auto-correction methods to prevent invalid names to be saved.

Note:

The value actually stored within the Name column of the Shortcut database table has to follow the format restrictions for the Filename data type. If the entered name does not comply the rules for short file names, RayPack automatically transforms the value to create a mixed value of short and long file name, separated by a vertical bar (|)
 

Please refer to the MSDN documentation for the Filename column type to get further details on possible values.
