I actually consider this a feature and often make use of it. One way is
the give PDFs descriptive titles, while retaining the orginal name. This
way I can create shadows of the File Object rather than having to create
Program Objects for each PDF.

If you use:

eautil filename nul /s

after the rename to delete the EAs, the WPS will pick up the new name.

My standard tools are unimaint and cleanini. I run checkini once a month
or so as a cross check. They all fix different things. This includes
XWP's xfix.
