Is there a way to rename a file in the new Photos app when I export the file?

[iMore Question]

Right now I have to export my photos into a separate folder and rename each photo in Finder. Is there a way to give my exported photos new names at the time of export?

I have tried testing this and I see no way to rename a photos until after you have exported it. However, there is a way to add a custom prefix to the exported photos using the Sequential option.

Export the photos as you currently do, and then use the Yosemite Finder "batch rename" function.

You can rename files in cloud based apps like Box and Dropbox. Also in photo album apps like MyPhoto. Odd thing is no matter where I change a file name, when it's downloaded back to the camera roll, it reverts back to the original name.
