Rename in Preview mode

It would often help editors' work if the Enter file rename option would work in Preview mode. Especially when an editor is working with images already captioned by news agencies and photogs and has to do renaming based on the caption (ie. putting person or event names into the file names).

Just type 'm' and you can rename.

Thanks it is good to know this option as well. Do I understand it correctly this way only the image viewed in Preview will be renamed even if there are more than one images in the current selection (as preview keeps and works with the selection)?

That's correct.

Is there any way to set this so that the name that appears in the rename box is the current filename or, that the existing filename can be altered directly in the same way as with on the contact sheet please ?

Sometimes as I check through Previews (or indeed when captioning) I need to make corrections or additions within the current filename. Going back to the contact sheet takes time and interrupts the workflow.

My logic works the same way: it would be great to have the actual filename for the rename.
