Naming Plugins?

Hey all.
Is there a way to name / rename the plugins in a patch? I’m using multiple switch boxes, multiple cv control plugins, and it’s hard when you assign them the dwarf controls to know what’s what. Seems like a simple thing I just can’t find. Help!

Do you mean something like this?

Wow how did I miss that?!? I’ll try that in the morning! (In bed right now…)
Thanks so much!

I suppose it’s clear from @CarloDossi 's screenshot, but just to make sure:
The column on the right of the assignment dialogue only comes up after pressing the “Advanced” button.

that’s correct!

Changing the label is more of an essential to me than something advanced and I probably do it for every parameter I assign to a button/knob.

Perhaps it should always be shown?

Good point, @patchbae. I think about 2 good reasons to modify the labels most of the time :

  • the default label is not explicit enough
  • it doesn’t look good when it’s cropped to 8 characters to fit the Dwarf screen

Yep just started using this. This changes everything. So much better.
Mod take it out of advanced! This is a must feature and quite game changing in my view.
Love my dwarf even more now.

While I agree that naming a label is not that “advanced”, I personally would prefer limited MOD resources being spent to new features or bugfixes instead of tossing this parameter around.

Hello @Jarrydactyl, @funkypou, @patchbae, @Casanunda and @CarloDossi,

Sorry being late to the party, I’m naming items I like to control like forever.
I thought this best practice would have been popular to everyone.

Greetings and God bless, Marius
