Auto-confirm blueprint name change when green check mark is clicked

Post by waltermundt »

Right now, if you click the pencil to set a blueprint's name, type something in, then hit the checkbox to save the blueprint, the name is not saved. I can't count the number of times I've typed a nice name for a new, unnamed blueprint and then lost it because I hit the check mark without clicking the little pencil again or hitting enter first. I've seen it happen to multiple people who post on YouTube as well. I've also tried to rename blueprints and had to type the new name multiple times just because I never expect the "confirm changes" button to silently discard a change I am trying to make.

So, my suggestion: if the text field is still open when the green check is clicked, save the name change. This still allows canceling name edits with ESC or something, and is simply what I think is the intuitive thing to happen, since that button also confirms any other changes you've made to a blueprint you have open.

If doing that always is bad for whatever reason, at least save the name that is typed if the blueprint doesn't otherwise have a name.
