The Rename file right click functionality is very useful in the Shared Files screen.
Can we have it available for right click use for completed downloaded files as well in the Transfer screen please?

It is in Details dialog for incomplete files.
For a completed file the Downloads' list entry is a ghost of a file; the file had been moved to one of the incoming directories and possibly automatically renamed. These changes are not reported to Downloads list.
Hence it is preferable to let the rename stay in Shared files.

From my observation, when the file is renamed in the 'Shared files' screen, the new name is reflected in the 'Downloads' list, hence I imagined there must be an internal link and for convenience, would like the rename functionality available on the 'Downloads' screen as well, so I don't need to flip back and forth when renaming downloaded files that are incorrectly named or to conform to a naming convention I prefer.
Yes, the Details screen can be used, but that functionality disappears when the status changes to Fully Downloaded (should it?). The ghost in the Downloads list seems to reflect any automatic relocation as part of the download completing process, as I can click on the file and it will play. For situations where the file is not there due to manual processes moving or removing it, just ignore the rename function, same as what happens in the Shared Files screen.

A lot of clicks back and forth between the screens for something that should just flow.
