WARNING! Renaming an LOD texture map will lose the ability to revert to the original, as it will lose the name and relationship to the original name. For example. If the original name is TEXTURE and the LOD is TEXTURE_256px and you rename the TEXTURE_256px to Tex_256px, revert won't work as it does not include the complete original name plus the LOD suffix. We recommend renaming the original texture first, before creating LODs.
