Mass renaming only renames the folders, not movie names #4

My movie folders are named correctly, it's usually the filenames that are messed up. Could they be renamed (configurable in the preferences maybe)?

There's a couple of reasons that I'm currently not renaming the movie file itself:

First, when searching for subtitles trough the add-on in XBMC (and possibly in general), it can be handy to know the original file name, since subtitles are usually named after the file they work best with.

And second, if I do rename the movie file, if you've already downloaded any extras it would have to rename those too. It should be possible to do this, but it'll take some work.

I think in general, you'll be looking more at your folders then at your files, since ViMM and XBMC (or Boxee?) would handle those in the background, and I tend to use subtitles, so knowing the file's original name usually helps.
