### 01. Filename List 

The list displays both the original filename (old) and the new filename, listed side by side.

Please note. The New filename will change red before clicking the RENAME button, which commits the change. This indicates that the file is not located in the scene at that time - until you click RENAME.

The Red highlight is dependent on the Copy/Rename File Options in the side menu. See 07. Copy/Rename File Options.

:::hint{type="danger"}
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.
