<p>I am looking for a possibility to rename automatically new wallets.</p>

<p>my problem is that when I restore a wallet by terminal I get this error: "Remove the existing wallet first!"</p>

<p>But if I rename the default_wallet to wallet1 (for example) i get no error.</p>

<p>so is there a possibility to rename new wallets automatically to wallet1, wallet2, wallet3, ... ? maybe by electrum config? </p>

Do you need something automatic, or would a way to move the wallets from the command line be sufficient?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-04-21)

I am looking for a possibility to rename automatically new wallets.

my problem is that when I restore a wallet by terminal I get this error: "Remove the existing wallet first!"

But if I rename the default\_wallet to wallet1 (for example) i get no error.

so is there a possibility to rename new wallets automatically to wallet1, wallet2, wallet3, ... ? maybe by electrum config?

Change the source code.

Here you can see where the word 'default\_wallet' is defined:
<https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=default_wallet>

If you would change that to 'wallet1' the default created wallet would be called wallet1.
