Colabtools: colab display incorrect jupyter notebook file name.

Created on 26 Sep 2019  路  11Comments  路  Source: googlecolab/colabtools

When i open ipython notebook from github using colab, file name seems incorrect.

For example. this public notebook
https://github.com/gnoparus/bualabs/blob/master/nbs/16e-nn-parameter-optimizer.ipynb

I change url in front to colab
https://colab.research.google.com/github/gnoparus/bualabs/blob/master/nbs/16e-nn-parameter-optimizer.ipynb

But in colab, title bar and file name above menu displayed as "16d-neural-network-training-loop.ipynb" which is another notebook in the same path instead of "16e-nn-parameter-optimizer.ipynb".

Maybe I create this new file 16e by duplicating 16d (16d was created with colab then save to github) that cause meta data duplication or something.

I tried using different google account, Chrome and Firefox, colab still display that file name.

Here is shareable link https://colab.research.google.com/github/gnoparus/bualabs/blob/master/nbs/16e-nn-parameter-optimizer.ipynb

As I said, this is still happening. Either there is an intermittent bug in Colab, or the Google Drive API is letting you down. In fact, I also lost some code edits that I know that I saved repeatedly.

I found that it's in meta of 16e notebook. And if I didn't save to google drive first, I cannot rename notebook.

{
"colab": {
"name": "16d-neural-network-training-loop.ipynb",
"provenance": []
},
.....
}
}

I also cannot find edit notebook meta menu in colab. Are there any way to edit notebook meta data in colab?

This is still happening.

When you copy or rename a saved colab notebook outside of colab, the colab metadata is preserved, because it is part of the file contents.

In Colab, you can update the title metadata by double-clicking on the title and editing the text, assuming you are looking at an editable view of the notebook.

Outside of colab, you can update the title metadata by opening the notebook with a text editor and changing the metadata directly.

Same for me.

same here still, cannot double click the title, or use the dropdown "file" button to change the filename..

Same for me.

This still happens even after the metadata is changed--both the title and url. I don't know why this issue is closed.

Same for me

Same for me too

Now renaming files is solved just double click or enter
