Calibre has no "renaming features" per se. Whenever any Author or Title is changed the corresponding file's name in calibre's database is renamed as needed. The problem here is that the internal naming of files has a UUID number appended and sometimes it is truncated so not to exceed path/file character limits.
I guess what I'm saying is your out of luck. Calibre just doesn't have that feature. It is such an odd request that I have seen it asked for in this forum in the last four years. Maybe you stated it clearly earlier, but what is this getting you? What is the ultimate goal? I think you may have to reconsider your work flow.
Update: One thought does come to mind. Go to
Preferences - Plugins - Metadata writer plugins and
disable the
metadata writer for the format your dealing with, click Apply and try using the Save to disk feature again. It might give you what you want.
Good Luck.
