"Rename file from parent metadata" bug
A small Zotero 7 bug / unexpected behavior:
In Zotero 6, after clicking "rename file from parent metadata," the PDF filename would automatically update in the library view.
In Zotero 7, the file maintains its current name (e.g., "Full Text PDF") though there is a pop-up in the lower right corner indicating that the filename has changed. When you click "Show in Finder" on the PDF, the filename has in fact been renamed even though the library view doesn't (yet) reflect that.
Very grateful to the devs for 7, which is *so much faster*!
v. 7.0.1 on MacOS 14.6.1 (23G93)

"As we've said repeatedly, we're going to add the option to display the filename in the items list instead of the attachment title."

That is ... wait a bit. ;)
