Dolphin freezes system completely, if during batch rename filename exists. eg.: 1) in FolderX, containing files numbered 11.ext to 100.ext, by way of right click "rename" all is selected. 2) In the rename dialogue "new_name#" and # "start with number" is selected. 2a) the screen gets completely tiled full of "file is being moved messages" -- a bit annoying that but bearable 3) if one of the New numbers already exists, several* error message pop up "file exists already" -- correctly so far -- with the usual choices. Alas the system totally freezes up, no inputs possible. * apparently a larger number, say 9+ -- works fine with 1 or 2 Reproducible: Always Actual Results: Complete freeze, requires pulling the plug. No backtrace available.
Could be an OpenSuse problem, but it seems fixed. Is it still reproducible for you? Not reproducible for me on Archlinux Frameworks Version 5.28.0-1 Dolphin 16.08.3 The multi-rename works for me with up to 24 files at once. I also did it a several sucessive times to see if dolphin was mixing up the old and new files, but still no errors. Also no "file moved messages", so that must be fixed.
Please try again with newer Dolphin/KIO versions and report back if you still are affected by this issue.
