Set name of the flow when creating

I think, we need an option to show naming dialog to keep flows organized.

Do you mean to directly show a dialog to name the flow before the flow can be edited?

Yes. Because I would rename flow immediately to prevent Flow 1, Flow 2, ... naming.

This because sometimes I create flows to test something, then I forgot about old flows and need to maintain flows storage.

May be this my mistake, misdisciplinity...but there is fact.

In MS Windows when we creating folder, it asks for name, but not open it after naming. Here is some logic, but if You use FX file manager (Android), it will open new folder by default (there is option in settings for that behavior).

I also often create temporary flows to test something, asking for a name for the flow first would not be optimal in this case but adding an option just for this UI behavior seems a bit much to me.
I'll think some more about it...

I also have a group of flows only for testing, but i always give a proper name. Maybe Faqci wanna a checkbox just like in tasker, where it will always force us to ask for the profile name. if it is checked, it will always prompt for flow name when creating new flow.

Nice idea, click new flow, write name and after this you can edit.
