A "rename" command in right-click menu of data browser

I would like to suggest a "rename" command in the pop-up menu when I right-click on the object within the data browser. The current implementation of rename is either through "rename..." under Data menu or direct clicking the object. My feeling is that the implementation of direct clicking is too insensitive. I once try to click on the same object to rename for five times but it still remained as black background instead of blue background of renaming. I suppose this "rename" command would reduce this kind of frustrated experience.
Greetings from WaveMetrics,

Thanks for your suggestion, we will keep it in mind for the next version of IGOR.

Renaming an object by clicking on its name is about the most natural and intuitive choice in GUI. If you clicked multiple times and were unable to get to the name changing mode, it is more than likely that you clicked on the icon of the object and not on the object's name.
