SUMMARY: Currently if multiple files are selected and F2 is pressed, Dolphin offers to rename all files to the same basename with a number appended to them (denoted as "#"). It would be much more useful if Dolphin would allow keeping the original name of each file as part of the new one, e.g. denoted as "@", so that users can prepend e.g. a date, or append "_backup", to the file's basename. Similar to mmv: mmv "*.*" "2022.10.02 #1 backup.#2"
Possibly duplicate og bug 450303
No, 450303 is slightly different. But we can join the two by introducing a third placeholder: # = number (this already exists) @ = previous name of each file when several are selected (this would fulfill my user story) % = name of right-clicked file when several are selected (same for all files, this would be 450303) We can use different placeholder characters of course.
