GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 751189
Rename a opened document right from the headerbar

A nice feature Apple has is the ability of accessing a window-specific dialog right from their title bar[0]. I find it pretty useful in Documents' context as well. Accessing the Preferences Dialog right from the headerbar[1]. [0] https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CH0hIGRWIAAe2LC.png:large [1] https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CH1A1iVXAAAXtUQ.mp4
Created attachment 305634 [details] [review] preview: rename a document right from the preview headerbar It ads a go-down button right next to the opened document in preview mode which embeds the properties dialog.

If we were going to have in place editing of the title, i'd do it in a way similar to the location entry in Web. Can you please check with the designers? > [0] https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CH0hIGRWIAAe2LC.png:large > [1] https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CH1A1iVXAAAXtUQ.mp4
Review of attachment 305634 [details] [review]: Marking as needs-work, as, at the very least, it will need not to clash with the patches from bug 754149, and will need some UI changes.
catching up with this... I guess this is something that should be adopted application-wise, otherwise will introduce more incoherence between applications than actually enhancements. GNOME Builder has a similar functionality: http://i.imgur.com/FhM7s92.png Our [core]applications have pretty much two main states: - the stack switcher state where you switch between views (see Music, Boxes, Documents, Photos, ToDo...).. - The content view state: viewing a vm/remote in Boxes, reading a document in Documents, Artist view in Music,... The functionality proposed here would offer a shortcut of actions for the second state case. Anyhow, if these propose is not desired, feel free to close the bug.
