Enhancement details

Enhancement description

Right now, when using pde://sketch/base64/<base64_encoded_content>, the main .pde file is always opened with a default auto-generated name like sketch_250816a.

There should be a way to explicitly specify the main tab name, similar to how additional tabs can already be defined with query parameters.

Example proposal:

pde://sketch/base64/pde=sketchName:<base64_encoded_content>

Benefits

• Brings consistency with how secondary .pde files are already handled.
• Accuracy with the original sketch naming.

Challenges

• Need to decide on the syntax for naming the main tab.
• Must stay backward compatible with existing links.

Additional context

Secondary tabs already support explicit naming via query parameters:

pde://sketch/base64/<base64>?pde=tab2Name:<base64>&pde=tab3Name:<base64>

The same flexibility should be extended to the main tab.

Is it okay if I give it a shot? Got nothing to do here while waiting for feedback 😅

Hi @lassevonpfeil, thanks for your patience. This still needs input from @Stefterv (he’ll be back mid next week). In the meantime, if you’re okay with it not being cleared for implementation yet, feel free to open a proof-of-concept PR!

Okay, I'll do that 👍.
And sorry I didn't mean to put on extra stress 😅
