Rename files while they’re open

finermac:

I was re-naming a Pages file in Finder when I realised I had it open. “Damnnit,” I thought, it wont let me do that… but I committed the change anyway, and what did I find? Not only could I change the file name, but Pages had updated the name of the file that was open to it’s new name.

This is more than a little bit amazing and, if my memory is serving me correctly, the first time you have been able to do this since the Mac was created.

Update: My memory is not what it used to be. It seems as this has been available for a while. That said, I am a Mac consultant and I was not aware of this. Therefore, I’m betting many of you out there don’t either. Thanks to Shawn Medero for schooling me.
