Description Tomasz Wesolowski CLA 2011-11-19 09:00:38 EST 
Build Identifier: 

- Create a class A using Class Wizard and default settings
- rename this class to B

The class is renamed properly, but the filename and (even worse) the include guard remain the same.

Proposed:
- if the filename of the file with definition is the same as the old class name, change it to the new class name
- additionally, if there is an implementation file with the same name, rename it too
- if any of the above is done, also fix includes in other files
- if any of the above is done and the header contains an include guard which has  the class name as substring, replace it by new class name

Reproducible: Always

I also have the same problem. Each time I renamed a class, I have to rename the file and the include line manually. 

I hope that there could be an option that we can choose to refract those simultaneously.

Already implemented in CDT 9.10
