Show old name when renaming data nodes in DataManager
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

When renaming nodes (by <F2> interaction), the input field is empty. Hence if we will only add some text at the end of the old name, we have to write it completely.

Better solution would be to show the old name, but marked. If we want to insert new name, hitting delete will make the input form empty. But one can easily extend the name by positioning the text cursor on the desired position of the name string.

this is a qt model view framework behaviour that could not be changed easily. we had an earlier discussion and i did some research. finally we decided that the effort is too high for the benefit.
