The BQM is not intended for simple renaming. The renaming function is used to give images a new name after editing. There is also an option here to overwrite the file. Use the key "F2" or the right context menu in the thumbnail view to rename files. This renaming tool also provides a display of the filename before the renaming is performed.

In the BQM, the original file is retained when renaming. This is currently the intended behavior. I think we already had a bug request for this.
