This module adds the ability to rename a file which was uploaded to the system.
It can be integrated in the media detail page.

  • integration directly to file upload widget
  • if an image is renamed, the image cache is rebuild only for that image
  • if file name exists it shows a warning


Works perfectly together with the file_replace module and our patch.

Further features:

  1. Module config: the inline rename link has to be enabled for a single widget or globally in the settings form here: /admin/config/file_rename/settings
  2. This setting can be overriden for each widget separately in form display.
  3. "Rename" entity action is now available (useful for views).

Note: It's not recommended to use module versions before 1.0.1, they are too raw.
