Hi! Can I rename downloaded apps? Either the programm itself or the link in the menu?

For example, I dont want gPodder or DrNokSNES to be named as they are, but rename them to "Podcasts" and "SNES".

Is this possible?

I think you have to edit the application_name.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon

Change the line "Name=...." to whatever you like.

Edit: This only changes the name in the menu, to change the window name you probably have to edit the source and recompile.

Will this change stick if you later install an updated version of the app, I wonder?
