click once on the file name and then Enter/Return and it'll allow you to rename.

also, 2 clicks with a small pause between them - not double click.

Its really simple. All you have to do is click once on the file and then wait about a second and then click again on the part of the file icon where the name is. You then should be able to edit the file name.
