No software application is psychic and if you rename a file using Windows Explorer, there is no way that any application will be able to locate that file unless you manually update the link. I've also used PersonalBrain extensively and I know for a fact that PersonalBrain is not able to do this automatically.
OmeaPro actually does know whenever you rename, move, or delete a file in Windows Explorer (as long as OmeaPro is running when you make the change). I was quite surprised to see that it can do that, and the update is instantaneous, so I don't think it is scanning folders and updating. Perhaps it is creating an event sink for Windows Explorer.
