Missing file/folder rename option

In the Files app, where is the rename option for files and folders? Supposedly its on the long-press menu but its not there. I had to install a third party file manager to rename items.

search in finder... then rename file. How to do this? Hi guys - Quick question thats been bugging me... If I want to rename a specific file, I will use Finder to search for the file. However, once I locate the file, it will not allow me to rename it. Highlighting and Clicking / pressing enter does not bring up the blue text edit box you would expect where you would type in the new name. There is also no "rename" option in the "right click" shortcut menu. What am I missing here? Thanks for any help!

Change default name on files saved to desktop? Hi! Is there a way to change, what seems to be the default name, for files saved to the desktop? Whatever I try to name them it switches back to the name Picture1.pdf , picture1.jpg etc. I have hundreds of them and would prefer to be able to rename them already on the desktop and not just in files like "Documents".
