How can objects be renamed and reclassified in 1.1.2 without switching to them?

[Guest]

There's something I've built and want listed as a station, and other things I've left around that I would rather reclassify as debris than terminate, so that they're still floating around, but changing such vessel characteristics seems no longer to be a matter of double-clicking on its name in the info window (near bottom right) in the tracking station. The orange bar containing the name darkens to indicate it has been selected but nothing happens.

It's a known bug and will be fixed at some point. For now, the only craft you can rename are the ones that have command pods or probe cores -- and you do have to switch to them.
