Summary0000520: Add "Rename" or "Nickname" Support for Product Entries
DescriptionSince SUMo makes use of vendor created description tags, we can occasionally get confusing and obscure entries in the SUMo product list.

For example, the description tag Microsoft used with http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspxthe [^] Tweak UI PowerToy for XP[/URL] (TweakUI.exe) is "User interface customization toy" - so that's what appears in the SUMo list.

It would therefore be nice if we could manually select to rename or nickname such entries so they appear in the product list with a more logical name. Like in this case, I would use "Tweak UI" instead.

I'm not saying such renaming would also need to appear on the "Get Update" web pages - just locally in a user's own SUMo product list.

Thanks!

I too agree. I think this would also yield better results in the searches for some software.

It would be used for sorting and displaying customized Product + Vendor items,
internally still using used current product info.

The reason why to use it:
 
- Vendor is known, but the field is empty
 - Product or vendor string is incorrect, misspelled
 - Product or vendor string is misleading or simply wrong
 - User wants to use its own item grouping

Not a bad idea at all.

Not a bad idea at all.... but not so easy :)

Of course such "customization" would be "limited" to client side, server would still work on "raw data"

That what I mean, it has local importance to end user.
Part of SUMO customization.
