As somebody thought that inline editing of filenames was kind of hidden 
behavior I did a small very unscientific test today. I went down to the 
computer lab for students studying Economics at Lund University and asked the 
students working there to rename  a file. None of them used the context menu
(they used windows) or the the control key to do it. I also asked them if they 
knew some other way of renaming the file, and out of the 10 people I asked 
only two had another suggestion. And in both cases that involved opening the 
file with a program and doing "Save as".
