What will happen if I click continue now?

S

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select two files. 
2. Ctrl+C, CTRL+V
3. Check Apply to All

OBSERVED RESULT
Continue is no longer faded, it can be clicked. Clicking suggests new name for both files.

EXPECTED RESULT
Well, this is good, but not expected. When I first checked Apply to All, I was not sure what would happen if I then click "Continue". There should be some indication about what will happen. Either a text should appear "For all selected files, a new file with suggested name will be created" or Continue should change button to "Duplicate" or something. I am not sure about proper solution,  Visual Design Group might provide input?

Can confirm, this is a bit confusing. Maybe the continue button text could change to "Rename"

"Rename" would still be a bit ambigious as it is not necessarily clear what is getting renamed (The old file? The new?) Maybe "Use New Names"?

Also, continue does not have a tooltip at all, so it could at least be (or also) explained there.
