It’s still impossible to rename the file from the nextgen admin panel.
There a workaround explained here :
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-rename-files?replies=3
In short you must :
1- rename the files on your PC
2- by FTP, delete old files in the gallery folder
3- upload the new renamed files
4- from nextgen admin, rescan the folder for newer files
Erratum : the above will change the image ID I’m quite sure. I’m giving a test right now.

Thanks a lot for your answers Wazomba!
I think this feature should be implemented in a future release of NextGEN!
@ Alex Rabe: what do you think?
You can change the filename manually, in the wp_ngg_pictures table, through phpmyadmin.
Good workaround. But really, it’s surprising the developper did not implemented a file renaming function…
