How to update/rename a carrierwave uploaded file?

Question

I cant figure out how to update/rename a file uploaded/managed with Carrierwave-mongoid in rails 3.2.6. I want to rename the file in the db as well as on the filesystem.

I was able to get the following working, although I'm sure there is a more elegant way. I'd appreciate any comments on the following

*add this to app/uploaders/file_uploader.rb

def rename(new_name)
  sf = model.file.file
  new_path = File.join( File.dirname( sf.file ) , "#{new_name}#{File.extname( sf.file )}")
  new_sf = CarrierWave::SanitizedFile.new sf.move_to(new_path)
  model.file.cache!(new_sf)
  model.save!
  return model
end

Thanks!
