Naming Scripts in the Backpack

DinoMaster20

I sometimes have to pull all the scripts ut of my backpack just to see which one is the one I need, so yeah. I feel like this would make life easier. I won't ask questions, because I'm 98% sure OP won't answer

I've found the backpack to become quite a useful feature, especially since it makes it a lot easier to combine elements from multiple projects I find. With sprites and sounds and costumes, it's quite convenient since you can recognize the piece of media by its name.

However, the scripts - (which I find especially useful to put in the backpack when I want to use other people's custom blocks) - are all named the same! I think there should be some way to name the scripts to make them more easily identifiable. When all I get to look at is a teeny-tiny preview of what the script looks like, it's hard to tell whether I've selected the right one unless I open all of the scripts in my backpack.

Please add this feature!

Edit: After thinking for a bit, I do see that a temporary solution for myself until the feature is added would be to add the scripts to sprites and then name the sprites appropriately… but still, that's going out of the way for a very simple action. It's like using a “say something for zero seconds” block as a way of commenting your code! (And I remember people used to do that in the older versions of Scratch!)

Yeah! I support & it would be so useful!

This would massively help with backpack organization. Using it right now is like having a bookshelf where the books are facing so you can't see the names, or having an app store but all the apps are just called App, and it can get annoying to have to take multiple tries to get the right script.

Yea! And the after you get it right if the scripts that you thought where the right one had variables you got to go through and clean them all out!

Guess I should use the signature for explaining myself rather than Skyrim quotes. So hi. I'm Gator.

Metal albums I like:
* From Mars to Sirius - Gojira
* Citadel - Ne Obliviscaris
* With All Their Might - Dyscarnate
* Ghost Reveries - Opeth
* Monarchy - Rivers of Nihil

Recommend me more (please)

Support, it's always annoyed me that there's names for backpacked code, but you can't name or change them! A possible way to implement this that I'd be interested in would be being able to name strings of code by an option in the menu that pops up when double clicking a block.
TL;DR: Good idea, easy way to implement.

Purple is objectively a better colour than blue, but that doesn't mean I love it unconditionally.

Today lucky constant that haven't played in like a year, we will be playing DUPE OR NUPE!

Today, one person has suggested that this is a dupe, but are they right!?

I will give the answer, in literally 0 seconds.

THE ANSWER IS THIS IS A NUPE!

The suggestion they have linked is referring to naming scripts. This is referring to naming anything! Scripts ≠ Anything. Therefore, this is a… NUPE!

It's super annoying if you use the backpack a lot because you can't tell which script is which. I suggest that if you right click on something in the backpack, you should be able to rename it. These names would not be saved at all when you remove them from the backpack.
