# Renomear un ficheiro ou cartafol

As with other file managers, you can use Files to change the name of a file or folder.

# Renomear un ficheiro ou cartafol

Prema co botón dereito sobre un elemento e seleccione Renomear, ou seleccione o ficheiro e prema F2.

Type the new name and press Enter or click Rename.

Tamén pode renomear un ficheiro desde a xanela de propiedades.

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 last .). The extension normally denotes what type of file it is (for example, file.pdf 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.

If you renamed the wrong file, or named your file improperly, you can undo the rename. To revert the action, immediately click the menu button in the toolbar and select Undo Rename, or press Ctrl Z, to restore the former name.

# Caracteres válidos para os nomes de ficheiro

You can use any character except the / (slash) character in file names. Some devices, however, use a file system that has more restrictions on file names. Therefore, it is a best practice to avoid the following characters in your file names: |, \, ?, *, <, ", :, >, /.

If you name a file with a . as the first character, the file will be hidden when you attempt to view it in the file manager.

# Problemas comúns

## O nome xa está en uso

You cannot have two files or folders with the same name in the same folder. If you try to rename a file to a name that already exists in the folder you are working in, the file manager will not allow it.

Os nomes de ficheiros e cartafoles son sensíbeis a maiúsculas, polo que o nome Ficheiro.txtnon é o mesmo que FICHEIRO.txt. USar nomes diferentes como estes está permitido, pero non é recomendábel.

## O nome do ficheiro é demasiado largo

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 (for example, /home/wanda/Documents/work/business-proposals/…), so you should avoid long file and folder names where possible.

## A opción para renomear está en gris

Se a opción Renomear aparece en color gris, é que non ten os permisos necesarios para renomear o ficheiro. Debe ter coidado ao tratar de renomear estes ficheiros, xa que cambiar o nome a ficheiros protexidos pode causar problemas ou facer que o seu sistema se volva inestábel.
