"Rename Episodes" not respected

Sonarr version: 2.0.0.4949
Mono version: 4.6.2
OS: DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 8 (Synology DS216j)
Description:
"Sonarr will use the existing file name if set to no" is the exact tooltip next to “Rename Episodes” checkbox, which I have configured to set to NO.

Upon Download Station being done fetching torrent, the video file is moved to according folder.
However the name of the video file in torrent is no longer the original (downloaded) file name, but in fact it was renamed to the torrent name.

For example it moves /volume1/downloads/The.Big.Bang.Theory.S11E01.HDTV.x264-LOL[rarbg]/the.big.bang.theory.1101.hdtv-lol.mkv to /volume1/media/TV Shows/The Big Bang Theory/Season 11/The.Big.Bang.Theory.S11E01.HDTV.x264-LOL[rarbg].mkv.

So it actually does not use the existing file name, if it did it should be moved to /volume1/media/TV Shows/The Big Bang Theory/Season 11/the.big.bang.theory.1101.hdtv-lol.mkv.

In some cases the folder name is used when importing and renaming is off. Using the {Original Filename} renaming option may work better for your scenario.

Perfect!
Did not know about the {Original Filename} as it is not listed within the “naming token helper” dropdown.
Only way to currently know about this is through the wiki article (or forums ;)), might I suggest that we add the “missing” {Original Filename} entry to the “naming token helper” dropdown for Standard/Daily/Anime Episode Format?
