SUMMARY
In Dolphin, attempting to rename multiple files (bulk renaming) will always show a file overwrite conflict, and will always rename a file even if the conflict prompt is canceled.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Select two files and click Rename
3. Attempt to rename them. In my experience, I wanted to add the word "dot" to unhide my bash configs I was backing up.
4. Note the misbehavior.

OBSERVED RESULT
At least one file has its filename overwritten and is overwritten with the edit rather than adding the edit to the existing name (when I tried adding before the filename). I would always get a filename conflict prompt even if the files had no conflicts in the directory. Clicking cancel on the prompt renames a file anyway

EXPECTED RESULT
The file should rename as expected in the rename dialog box. There should be no overwrite conflict pop up since there are no identically named files in the current working directory.
