Add the ability to rename the blend file you are currently working on.
i think it will be userfull instead of saving with new name and deleting previous file

What happens when you're working on a shared file called "Puppy", which is linked as an asset - and you rename it "Dog"? What happens across the room when a co-worker loads their scene from yesterday, and gets an error message that "Puppy file" no longer exists? How does the operating system AND blender know "Dog is the old Puppy, use it instead"?

yea... now i can see a problem why "rename current file" is an inappropriate feature.

we could just add a warning before they do it and ask if they want to confirm or just not let them.
