Find when open a File with Properties am NOT able to modify File name.

When open a File open with Rename then am can modify File name.

Is this a planned change, or a bug ?

.

Not being able to rename files in the properties window is by design. Renaming files in-place in the main window was replaced with a popover and for the properties window redesign the functionality to rename in-place was removed to fit with that.

In Modernize the appearance of Properties (#1326) · Issues · GNOME / Files · GitLab and Modernize properties window (!745) · Merge requests · GNOME / Files · GitLab you can find the discussions about that design decision.
