Naming irregularities in 2004 SW explorer?

Help!

It is late and I am not really too tired to see what I am doing wrong (if
anything)...

Just used SW explorer to save a copy and was in the process of renaming each
part before sending off for prototyping. It is an assembly with sub
assemblies and parts within the main assembly. So lets say that I ass the
suffix REV1 to each part during the save as (saving children as well. Then I
go to each file and do a little name changing too - but leaving the REV1.

If I look in the directory, all looks fine. However, if I open the master
assembly, the main assembly is named correctly, but all the sub assemblies
have their old names! However, if I RMB on the FM part and look at the
component properties, the component name is the old one, but it shoes the
component description as the new name! WTF? Did I miss some obvious setting?

Again, in the directory or in the open or save dialogues it all looks
correct with the new names. If is only the main assembly that is wrong!

Also, if I RMB the FM and open one of the parts or sub-assy, it opens with
the correct name... Huh?

Cross-eyed and sleepy. Help or a whack to the side of the head would be
appreciated!

I have seen some bugginess in the FM properly updating names in this kind of
situation.

 

I saw it once too - a reboot seemed to fix it.

Tried that several times... CTL+Q... Nothing. Weird. RMB on the sub-assy in
the FM and the correct name shows in the pop up (component XYZ_rev1)... But
not the FM. Very strange.
