I wanted to use the new file rename function that automatically renames the associated include statements. I wanted to rename a file with a .hxx extension to the same name, but with a .h extension.

However, it seems that the file rename feature only can rename the file basename, not the file extension; i.e. it is possible to rename file1.h to file2.h, but it is not possible to rename file.hxx to file.h.

Am I missing something? Is this working as designed? If so, why?

Thanks.

We hadn't envisioned wanting to change the extension. The primary scenario we envisioned was changing the name of a pair of files:
foo.cpp
foo.h

Changing the extension doesn't make sense in that case.
