Rename oldname1 with newname2

I have a csv file like so mapping old filenames to new filenames:
oldname1 newnameT
oldname4 newnameA
oldname3 newnameZ
.
.
.
oldname newname

Question:
First column is the current name of the my files.
How do I change all the filenames in the first column to the second column?
My new filenames should be:
newnameT
newnameA
newnameZ
.
.
.
newname

Gracias!

Re: Rename oldname1 with newname2

Use the "Import list of files and new names" from the "Options" menu (just above the files table).

Are the oldname1..oldnameN are full paths? (it has to be full path in order to find the file).

Re: Rename oldname1 with newname2

"Import list of files and new names" from the "Options" menu is exactly what I was looking for. Strangely, I never knew the existence of the "Options" menu until you pointed it out. I was looking to see it documented in the help contents. Anyway, thanks for the quick response.
