[Request] INI - Change Group/Item Name

[Bipolar_Games]

It would be very useful to have "Change Group Name" and "Change Item Name" functions, especially in the Android runtime, as INI is the only way so far to store external data.

You can use Array to store external data on Android... though good luck figuring out where the data gets stored.

[Bipolar_Games]

right... so ini is the only useful way too store external data.

Why would you want to change group or item name at runtime??? I see no reason to do that.

I think it'd be far more useful to be able to delete groups and items...

As an example, if you have a game with save game slots, you typically will name the groups Slot1, Slot2, Slot3 then have an item Name for the player's name in each slot. How do you propose being able to move the slots around? Moving Slot3's data to the first slot's position would be a pain, and this is why renamable groups and items was put into INI++.

Im with Bipolar_Games on this one; INI is incredibly lacking, especially in comparison to INI++, and it'd be nice to see some more functionality on the various runtimes.

Well it's not really that hard to swap data around... You'd just copy one set of data to temp variables, then write over that set with the other set, then use the temp variables to move the original set to where the other set was. The ol' switcheroo.

But yeah it would be a lot more handy if it was just built in to the Ini extension... I really don't see them adding anything to extensions at this point though... It seems like more of a feature request for MMF3.
