2. NOT using too any Base Tools option
3. The action required (just rename) is not added to any batch queue

Possible simple solution: add to the Base Tools a "dummy" options which does not perform any modification to the image, but so allow to insert the file rename in the batch queues

The BQM is not intended for renaming only. For this purpose there is the renaming function in the item view via the context menu or the F2 key.
