Right now I'm working on a project with multiple separate crates.

I would prefer lib.rs to be renamed to the crate's name itself, as when I open multiple at the same time it takes me an extra second to find the one I'm looking for, not a big deal just curious if it's possible or a good idea.

many lib.rs files open at the same time in ide

ne_log/lib.rs into: ne_log/ne_log.rs

Yes, in each Cargo.toml add a lib section with the desired path:

[lib]
path = "src/some_other_file.rs"

As to whether its a good idea or not; it will make your file structure non-standard, but the option is available since there are plenty of non-standard workflows. Use your own discretion.
