Rename linked file to whatever I want

sserebrinsky

I often have Zotero items with linked pdf files as attachments.
Is there any way of renaming the linked file to whatever I want, from within Zotero?
The closest to this I found is:
1. Right click -> Rename File from Parent Metadata.
But this does not allow for arbitrary name.
2. Right click -> Show file.
But if I rename the file here (which is pure OS), the link in Zotero is not replicated, and thus lost.

Click on the attachment item, click on the title in right-hand pane, and make sure that "Rename associated file" is checked.

(Currently this will change the attachment title too, but in Zotero 7 you'll be able to just rename the file independently.)

Thanks!
This is exactly what I was looking for.
