When importing folders as links in workspace give option to rename name

When I use the function import from filesystem it would be nice to be able to chose a name for the link. For example when I import a folder my_files into a project my_proj the link is always called my_files even though I want the link to be name my_files_tb

first link, then rename

Hi Martin,
That's Eclipse core functionality. The workaround is to first import (and create links, as you are doing in the screenshot). After that, you can rename the top-level dir my_files to my_files_tb. This renames only the link, not the directory to which you are linking.

Ok thanks. I was asking for

Ok thanks. I was asking for this feature because my directory structure looks like this:

top/
|-- modules/ <- directory with vhdl modules directories
| |-- my_mod/
|-- modules_tb/ <- directory with vhdl test bench directories for the modules
|-- my_mod/

When I import my_mod from modules and then my_mod from modules_tb then the link would get overwritten.
