how to rename files using preview

Just as an amendmend: the above was true in better -blessed- times.

Now (Mavericks at least) also this is gone. Why not just have the option to click in the name of the file in the Thumbnail bar and change the name? Why no preview.app>menu-item "rename"? Anybody on earth would understand this, probably even my dog i don't have....

Currently i don't find any option to rename singular pictures while browsing them using preview.

Or did i miss s.th. obvious?

Just adding to another oddity i am across with about preview (Annotate in Preview - Underline Tool with Different Colors) ...

Not to mention, that preview always resets the viewport of a document opened in preview to the document-beginning, when havin opened multiple documents in preview an closing one of them, totally annoying.

I hope this gets sorted out soon, preview was almost perfect pre 10.8, no idea whats's goin wrong there...

Sigh...

You can also rename a file in Finder (or on the Desktop) by selecting it and then clicking the filename again.

And in Preview, it works over the File menu, or by clicking the little arrow in the title bar. You have to hover over the filename and the arrow will appear. Since Mavericks, that arrow is used in almost all apps that deal with files to rename, move or tag them.

Instead of right-clicking them, select them and press Enter.

You can go into "Finder", and in there to "Desktop" in the left hand column, and right click the file names there to rename them.
