Cannot rename files from within a project

[Elena]

It looks that there is not any way to rename a source file from within cb which can sometimes be very troublesome. In the management files tree there is not any rename option. If I have to rename a source (which I have to do often for some complex projects) the only way is removing the file from the project, renaming it externally and add the file to the project again. Is it possible that such a vital feature is missing or it's me who missed something ? Thanks

You cannot rename opened files. If you close it you'll have to option to rename it. But it won't rename it in your VCS. You're using a one aren't you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control

No I am not currently using any VCS, however THANKS, I simply did not realize that I had to close the files if they were opened in the editor, to rename them

Yes, this is confusing a bit. You can log a feature request if you like.

IMHO graying the menu item instead of hiding it would be a lot more clearer

I know or we just need to make it work, by closing it first.
Patches welcome.

I come from VS lol so I am used to several things of its IDE, and since c::b is quite similar I often do certain things without thinking and then I realize they work differently 
Btw how do I issue a feature request here ? Sorry but I am very new  :

I suppose you already know how to do it: https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/1073/

Ah sorry I am not very confident with sourceforge things, I thought tickets were for reporting bugs only
