It drives me crazy that I can't simply rename an action group. I have to go through the process of copying it, then naming the new copy to the name I desire, then delete the old action group.

And just try changing the name where you only want to change the case of some letters in the name. 🙂 It takes _two_ copies and two deletes.

You can rename action groups with a delayed double-click, which enables edit mode of the list item.

Thanks. I never knew that was there. 🙂

You might consider adding a right-click menu to actions in the selection dialog, with 'Rename', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Duplicate' and 'Insert'. Context menus are almost always easier (well, faster anyway) than using buttons. The insert would also give the ability to immediately place a new action at a certain point in the list instead of creating it new, then moving it into place.

I've added the context-menu with the latest [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de). 🙂

Thank you very much, Florian, and please put this new feature onto the action dialog under Extras/Options too.

While I was at it, I've added it to the Export dialog too 🙂
