SUMMARY

I try to rename files using regex.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

There are files like:

1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg
...

I add a "Find and replace" regex rule:

"(.*)" to be replaced by "Abstract 100-\1"

OBSERVED RESULT

The new file names proposed by KRename are:

Abstract 100-1Abstract 100-.Abstract 100-jpgAbstract 100-
Abstract 100-2Abstract 100-.Abstract 100-jpgAbstract 100-
Abstract 100-3Abstract 100-.Abstract 100-jpgAbstract 100-
...

EXPECTED RESULT

The new file names should be:

Abstract 100-1.jpg
Abstract 100-2.jpg
Abstract 100-3.jpg
...
