Possible to change the server name?

[candre23]

By default, the UI displays the computer's name (running under windows, at least). Is there any way to change this?

Yep!

if you are using config files, then it's the name option inside the [global] section, so for example:

[global]
  name: Cool Stuff Only

or if you're doing the config using commandline arguments, then this will work:

copyparty.exe "--name=Cool Stuff Only"

note the funky use of quotes around the entire thing; that's necessary on windows if the name contains a space.

EDIT: if you want to enable the zeroconf features to announce copyparty on the LAN (so it automatically appears in file-explorers and such), then you'll probably want to use a name which is all-lowercase and without spaces! But if you don't care about that then the sky is the limit.

and if you're curious about all the other options that are available for tweaking things, then they're all listed on this page: https://ocv.me/copyparty/helptext.html

Excellent. Thank you.
