[Qgis-user] rename layer of geopackage in qgis 3.4

[brunos at mailbox.org]

Hi Alessandro and Andreass
Many thanks, it works in the DB-Manager!
Yes, it would be cool to have it directly in the browser (its a great tool!). Mabe even with the whole DB-manager funktionality? We have the Info tap (Properties). Nice to have the table and Preview too.... Sorry to ask ask cheekily :-)

Although it failed right after renaming to add the renamed layer - after closing the connection and reconnecting, I could add the layer fine.

I'm speaking of the layer of the database (.gpkg), not the name of the layer-reference in the layer panel in QGIS. I can create a new layer in the Browser and I can delete it. How to rename it?
