Q: A renamed file still shows old name in QT Player, why?
I renamed a video. Shows in my file folder as the new name quite nicely. But when I view the video in QuickTime Player it still bears the old name. What gives?

If you renamed the file "behind quicktime's back" it may take a re-launching of quicktime or a Restart to reflect the new name. This could happen because once a file is opened, it is not referred to by its name, but by its file descriptor table.
