This ticket is a discusstion ticket accompanying new feature for ExtendedFileManager plugin - file rename.
With the changeset being commited in a moment it is possible to allow users to rename files (new 'allow_rename' config setting).
There is a new icon in the image / file listing that, upon clicking will prompt a user to enter a new filename (without path or extension for the file - these will be preserved from the old file). That entered file will be properly escaped, replacing all but common characters to '_' and the file will be renamed (or error message will be displayed). Also, the thumbnail file that might have existed for the old filename will be deleted and a new one will be automatically created.
Now it is possible for users to manually rename those automatically created resized__. files. You can disable this new feature by setting allow_rename = false in config.inc.php and/or runtime configuration.
