How To Rename an Image with showFoto?

I must have looked right pass it, but I can't figure out how to rename an image with showFoto.
I've gone through the handbook for showFoto and searched the 'Net and it doesn't appear to be possible. Hard to believe one would have to edit with showFoto and then load the same image into digiKam or Gwenview just to rename it (not "save as").
Anyone know the secret?

Thanks!

I can confirm showFoto does have a SaveAs button on the top on Slack14 ( not current ), Digikam package is

. It works as expected. Something strange on current?

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but I think I said in the first post, "...to rename it (not "save as")...
For example, you are looking at a photo and want to rename it, not "save as" which will create another copy with the new name. In Gwenview hitting F2 will bring up a box so you can change the existing name. In Geeqie the same function is launched with, Ctrl-R.
I guess you could use "save as" and then go back and delete the original, but that is an unnecessary additional step.
Also in showFoto you can't just open a single image and then expect to be able to view any additional images in that same directory. Unlike any other graphics viewer I've ever used, in showFoto you have to "open folder" to be able to browse all the images in one directory.
BTW, this is showFoto/digiKam 3.1.0.
