			== Naming Files ==

			You can change the original file name to one you would like before adding the file to VLC. When adding files from the menu bar, the new file name will show in the playlist. However, when dropping the file using the "add/drop" option, VLC may not recognize the name change depending on the file type. In that case, you can right click the header of the playlist column and select "URL," you will then see the original file path for the file.
