You're definitely onto something here. Turning off autoplayback partially helps, but with odd/interesting behavior. After turning off autoplayback, I can rename any file so long as it hasn't been played yet. After I've played and paused a file, Bridge holds onto it as "in-use" until I close down and restart Bridge. So I can no longer rename that particular file until restarting. I can still rename any other file that hasn't been played yet without restarting Bridge.
At first, fiddling around with renaming & playing a bunch of stuff, it looked like Bridge seems to only mark one file as "in-use" at a time. If I previewed/played audio file A so it could no longer be renamed, then previewed/played file B & stopped it, Bridge would release A & grab B, marking B as "in-use". Then I could rename file A again.
Simply playing/previewing another file to break Bridge's hold on the file I want to rename looked like a pretty reasonable workaround, but then that behavior stopped working too: Bridge stopped letting go of files even after I previewed other ones, and I ended up needing to restart after all.
