Description Patrick Silva 2016-06-21 21:37:06 UTC 
Currently only ONE file/folder name is reverted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select two or more folders/files
2. press F2 to mass rename and apply a new name to the files/folders
3. press ctrl+z to undo mass rename process

Actual Results:  
Only ONE folder/file name is reverted.

Expected Results:  
I think the correct behavior is revert ALL folder/file names.
If the user renames hundreds or thousands of folders/files to any wrong name a third app is required to revert all wrong names.

Any progress with this issue?
Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2017-06-20 09:59:18 UTC 
The way mass-rename is currently implemented is by spwaning a gazillion rename jobs (one for each file), so as far as KIO and KUndoManager is concerned, each task is separate. This also caused funny bugs where it would spawn hundrets of progress notifications. There needs to be a dedicated mass rename KCompositeJob that does all of this right.

Solved in Dolphin 18.04. \o/
