Description
In web ui I can rename a torrent, but I can't rename the single files inside a torrent. It would be nice having that feature. Thank you.

That is actually possible, just look at any native client (GTK+, Qt, Mac) version 2.80+.

Doh! Got my history of protocols mixed up. In bittorrent the filenames are completely trivial. Well ok then, if someone adds this to the rpc-spec I will implement it in Shift.

It's already there, see section 3.7 "Renaming a Torrent's Path".

Replying to mike.dld:
It's already there, see section 3.7 "Renaming a Torrent's Path".
The rpc spec needs more/better explanatory text. If possible, remove/resolve/inline all references to transmission.h. Currently this function feeds the assumption of renaming the torrent root path only.
Update: It took a while. Renaming files is implemented in Shift.
Replying to gipawu:
That is not possible. This is because the file names are part of the torrent hash. When you change a file name you actually change the torrent as well. Only the top level directory name is the exception to this rule. See http://i-tools.org/torrent for a more detailed explanation. A torrent client could abstract file names in all interfaces, including filesystem. But can't see any logic in that.
