{Beginner} How to get rid of confusing duplicate names

Okay, so I didnt relly want to have to duplicate reflexes, because I saw that it added a number to the end of it. For example, duplice ationg the plasma_rifle, and having it say plasma_rifle (1). So i figured out a way to make it more understandable.

PS. This is also my first tut ^_^

Step 1: Go to the Tags window in DotHalo.
Step 2: Find the Reflex/Chunk you want to rename
Step 3: Where it says "File Path" in the Tags window, rename the Reflex/Chunk to what you want. For example if I wanted to rename "multiplayer\single_weapons\plasma_rifle (1)", to scarab_main_gun, all i would have to do is replace the "plasma_rifle (1)" with "scarab_main_gun". Like so:

Before:
"multiplayer\single_weapons\plasma_rifle (1)"

After:
"multiplayer\single_weapons\scarab_main_gun "

And there you go. Now you can better organize your Reflexes.

*******IMPORTANT*******
When renaming you Reflex, try to make the new name the same amount of characters as the old name. It doesnt really matter, but if you take the Rocket Launcher itmc, and want to rename it "ammo", you'll have 11 spaces after the name.

I would like this tutorial moved to the beginner's section, as it is fairly simple to complete.

How do you do it with Entity 1.6? That's what i have, but i can't change the name while i'm duplicating it.
