Change filename in Preview

Solution 1:

I am using Yosemite (10.10) but I believe this feature has existed for a long while...

Simply open the file in preview and click on its name at the top of the preview window.

See screenshot:

Solution 2:

As of June 11 2015 I have not found a solution how to rename a file while in Preview on Mavericks. (10.9.5)

There is also no Save-as function so any changes are saved over the original file.

The defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistence -bool no does nothing.

My work around is to use the "Export" where I can rename and save the file.

Solution 3:

Instead of opening the file in Preview, you could

• select the file in Finder
• press Space to show the picture
• press Enter (even with the screenshot still showing) and rename the file
