# Name

### Introduction

A file's name represents its qualified location relative to the project's Content folder. By default, newly-created files will be added to a folder specific to the container Screen, Entity, or Gloabl Content Files. However, a file can exist outside of the default folder, so long as it is in the project's Content folder. For example, the following file is located in the Enemy entity, but its location on disk is **\<Project Content Folder>/Characters/Enemy\_Shooter.achx**:

### Renaming Files

Glue allows renaming of a file by changing the file's **Name** property. Renaming the file will perform the following actions:

1. Change the name of the file in the Glue project
2. Change the name of the file in the Visual Studio project (including all synced projects)
3. Change the name of the file on disk

Note that if the file is referenced by another file, Glue may not be able to update the reference. For example, changing a .PNG file which is referenced by a .TMX file may result in errors due to the .TMX file still referencing the old .PNG.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.flatredball.com/flatredball/glue-reference/files/name.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
