Alias for tables

I'm missing an option to rename the tables in tablesetup.

For example there is a tablename manufacturing_master_data. When project is generated, there are files like

  • manufacturing_master_datalist.php
  • manufacturing_master_dataedit.php
  • manufacturing_master_dataview.php

Sometimes it would a good thing to hide the tablenames with an alias like

  • mmdatalist.php
  • mmdataedit.php
  • mmdataview.php

Using a view is often not a good idea, because if you have 100+ tables in a database you didn't want 30+ additional views.
