<p class="p">When you rename a file, only the first part of the name of the file is
selected, not the file extension (the part after the "."). The extension
normally denotes what type of file it is (e.g. <span class=" file">file.pdf</span> is a PDF
document), and you usually do not want to change that. If you need to change
the extension as well, select the entire file name and change it.</p>

file names. Some devices, however, use a <span class=" em">file system</span> that has more
restrictions on file names. Therefore, it is a best practice to avoid the
following characters in your file names: <span class=" key"><kbd>|</kbd></span>, <span class=" key"><kbd>\</kbd></span>,
<span class=" key"><kbd>?</kbd></span>, <span class=" key"><kbd>*</kbd></span>, <span class=" key"><kbd><</kbd></span>, <span class=" key"><kbd>"</kbd></span>, <span class=" key"><kbd>:</kbd></span>,

Using different file names like this is allowed, though it is not
recommended.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="terms">The file name is too long</dt>
<dd class="terms"><p class="p">On some file systems, file names can have no more than 255
characters in their names. This 255 character limit includes both the
file name and the path to the file (e.g., <span class=" file">/home/wanda/Documents/work/business-proposals/...

possible.</p></dd>
<dt class="terms">The option to rename is grayed out</dt>
<dd class="terms"><p class="p">If <span class=" gui">Rename</span> is grayed out, you do not have permission to
rename the file. You should use caution with renaming such files, as
renaming some protected files may cause your system to become unstable.
