Description darbie 2009-01-22 17:12:39 UTC 
When right click on a file and select rename I am not allowed to change the extension.  For example if the file name 
were FileName.hpp and I want to change it to FileName.h I cannot.  This is too restrictive.  Why not have the rename 
functionality allow a total rename?

Reassigning to platform.
Comment 2 Jiri Skrivanek 2009-01-23 08:48:02 UTC 
Yes, it is a valid request. It is not as easy to implement as it seems. But we will do our best to implement it as soon
as possible.
