I'd agree with Sieghard here. Renaming the folder through IOS actually
changes the name of the folder and doesn't just associate some text in
VO with the image. This means that if I were to let a sighted person
borrow my phone or asked for some help, they'd see the same folder names
I'm using. I'm also a lot more confident that this change would persist
through updates, resets and restores. It'll be tested by a lot more
people, and you're not dependent on images not changing and VO settings
not being carried over. That being said, there's no reason anyone
couldn't use the other method, and it should just work as well.

Hello Joseph,
OK, maybe it does, but I nonetheless prefer to rename a folder the way
everybody can and doing it in iOS instead of using a Voiceover specific
feature.
If I want to rename a folder in Windows, I use F2 or right click and then
click Rename instead of using the Jaws custom dictionary.
Using the custom label feature of Voiceover would be equivalent of using the
Jaws custom dictionary to rename a folder in Windows rather than just
renaming it.

Sieghard

Ah!
Ok. This looks like something that has been enhanced in IOS 7. Thanks for
double checking this.

I just moved the folders I renamed to different locations on the same
screen as well as to different pages. I found no difference. I then
rebooted and again found no difference. Maybe the changes you have
experienced in the past have been associated with IOS6, but in IOS7
the names of the folders do not change as you have described. Since
IOS7 is new, I'll report if anything comes up, but the process I have
described works just fine on my iPod Touch 5th gen.

Hi,
Because labels are based on the location of the object being named.
You move your folder, you lose your label. Better to just change the
name of the folder.

Hi Joseph and Mich,
I would strongly discourage anybody from using the custom label
feature (double tap and hold) as Joseph described it to rename folders.
You can "properly" rename a folder as follows:
1. Double tap on the folder to open it.
2. Do a 1-finger double tap and hold on either the folder name once
the folder is open or on one of the apps in the folder. If you do it
on one of the apps, let's say I have the Dropbox app in a folder
called "Business and Productivity", then the double tap and hold will
put you into moving mode and Voiceover will say "Moving Dropbox,
Dropbox, is editing". If you do the double tap and hold on the
folder, you have to do another double tap and hold to get into the
actual editing mode.
3. If you did the gesture on an app, swipe left until you get to the
folder name or the "Clear All" button which will clear the edit field
completely.
4. Delete part of the folder name or clear the entire field with the
Clear All button.
5. Type in what you want the folder to be called or do a 2-finger
double tap to start Dictating if you have an iPhone 4S or above and
speak the folder name.
6. Press the Home key to get out of editing mode, press home a second
time to close the folder.
Regards,
Sieghard

To rename a folder:
Focus on a folder then execute a 2-finger double-tap and hold.
You'll hear a cool little sound effect.
Now you can rename your folder.
When you have finished simply double-tap on "save."
I used this method to remove the word "folder" after every folder.
Since I already know it's a folder, seems a bit redundant. <Smile>.

Hi all. I just tonight spent about a hour and a bit dragging and
dropping things in to some folders and creating them on my IPhone 4s with
ios7.
This
was the first time I have dun this and I feel it went very well. I
did have a question though. How do you go about re naming folders in
ios7? I don't like some of the names that apple has for the folders
and would like to re name them if at all possible. I also wish that
apple would have a option where say if you have allot of games that
instead of dragging and dropping them in to the games folder that it
would just add them or be like a toggle where you could choose if you
wanted to add this game to the games folder.
from Mich.
