Hi Bence,

First what you see in the 'Asset name' column in the tree is indeed the 'name' 
JCR property, not the name of the asset's JCR node.

I could dig (not too far) in the history, it looks like when a field was added 
for the asset's "name" property, it was explicitly "untied" from the JCR node 
name itself (http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MGNLDAM-458).
I can think of a use case where someone renames an asset's JCR node, then edits 
the asset (NOT changing the [i]asset name[/i]), saves changes, and then his 
node is renamed back to the [i]asset name[/i]. This could well have been 
considered a destructive operation.

While I understand this, I also know that it would still be the case in 
Contacts, and that in some other apps we don't even have an action to rename 
JCR nodes... — we could as well have left it consistently destructive, it 
wouldn't have been that bad imo.

Anyway we'd like to streamline usages of name-like characteristics of content 
across apps: which fields are present in edit forms VS. rename actions or 
inline editing. In particular we want to emphasize usage of human-readable 
names over JCR names. Once we do, I hope it makes more sense again.

Meanwhile, if this behavior doesn't fit your needs, perhaps you can reconfigure 
the rename action in the assets-app to open the generic rename dialog instead?
- go to 
[code]/modules/dam-app/apps/assets/subApps/browser/actions/renameAsset[/code]
- set the [code]dialogName[/code] property back to "ui-framework:rename".
This would update the name property again and make renames directly visible in 
the tree.

Cheers,

Mika
