Has this been asked before as a wish:
A way to rename files from within Geany? I use the saveas as I complete work at each stage to keep a successive record. But sometimes need a rename. Thanks.

I guess Geany is supporting this wht you are looking for: Inside save as dialog is a rename button next to the save and cancel buttons. This cause saving the file under new name and removing the old one.

Perhaps you should consider version control?

This will not solve the issues with renaming, but maybe make the other things much easier ;)

The point was that he doesn't need to rename with a SCM/VCS.
If I understood the OP correct, goal was to just simple rename a file. E.g. from foo.c to baa.c. This cannot be solved by using a VCS. Of course, foo.rc2.c to foo.final.c is a case for a VCS - I recommend geanyVC for this task as backend. ;)

And he renames "to keep a successive record.", which is IIUC to archive successful code before doing dangerous stuff.
Best regards.

I thought this was only connected to the save as.

True. Anyway, I guess we can have as a conclusion: - Renaming is possible by using the save as function - Keeping versions of files should be done via a version controll system as svn, git, cvs, ....

Well, in fact its more an frontend than a backend. But this doesn't matter as long as you use it ;)
