Renaming

Now that we have copied JanesFile.txt from JanesFolder to JanesOtherFolder we are ready to rename something. 

  1. In the Navigator view, select JanesFile.txt in JanesOtherFolder.

  2. From the file's context menu, select Rename.

  3. The Navigator overlays the file's name with a text field.  Type in JanesText.txt and press Enter.

    If you decide you do not want to rename a resource, you can press escape to dismiss the text field.

You are probably wondering whether or not copy and rename work on anything besides files. To answer this question we can try renaming a folder. 

  1. In the Navigator view, select the folder JanesOtherFolder.

  2. From the folder's context menu choose Rename.

  3. Once again the Navigator overlays the folder name with an entry field  to allow you to type in the new name. Change the folder name to be JanesSecondFolder.
  4. Rename the folder back to its original name (JanesOtherFolder).
