When during a mass rename some of the to-be renamed files exist, a dozen "File already exists" dialogs appear and cause dolphin to hang. 1. Have a directory with files named f1..f50 2. Pick some files.. Say f10..f15 3. Try to rename them "f#". In this case there would be 5 duplicate names. Expected: Dolphin should warn you that the files you're trying to rename already exist Actual: Several "File already exists" dialogs appear on top of another causing the app to hang.

I cannot reproduce this behavior anymore using Dolphin v18.04.3: After I followed your steps I do get a ton of rename windows, but I can click through them just fine: Dolphin continues to operate normally and you can cancel the operation without any problems. Could you quickly check whether this problem is also resolved for you?
At least with Dolphin 18.04 beta I can not reproduce the problem following the steps from my bug 392681 marked as duplicate: 1. have a folder containing 10 jpg files 2. select 5 files and press F2 3. type the new file name and click "Rename" button 4. press ctrl+shift+a to invert selection and press F2 5. type the SAME name written in step 3 and click "Rename" button Dolphin does not show several file conflict dialogs at the same time anymore. \o/
Woohoo! Let's call it fixed.
