[ptp-dev] Remote Connection Rename Event

[Doug Schaefer <cdtdoug@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey gang,

I'm hoping all are well. I have an o.e.remote connection question. We're trying to deal with connection renames. There is an CONNECTION_RENAMED event but it's sent before the name of the connection is changed (despite what the documentation says) and there's no way to know what the new name is.

Any thoughts on how we could get that information? And we're trying to do it without an API change. One thought would be to add a new event type for the post name changed event when the connection has the new name.

Also given that the event is currently a pre-rename event which seems almost useless, is anyone using it in PTP land. We could also fix it to be the proper renamed event and add a pre-rename one.

Ideally we'd have a rename event with that has both the old and new name available so you can process it properly. Having two events, you end up forcing to do a remove and an add which kind of eliminates the advantage of having a rename event.

Hope that made sense and thanks!

Doug.
