I'm often renaming large numbers of files and sometimes there's naming
conflict. However gcmd does not warn about these before it's already screwed ...
I thought about it. Probably in most cases, we do not really want to bother
resolve conflicts - we just want to rename as requested. Why can't the file
manager just do it, meaning in two steps ?
First step - renaming as requested but with a leading char (maybe _) then
second step, renaming without that char.
It could of course be an option. If someone really needs speed and no conflict
is possible, then that would be useful. But seriously i can't think of such a
case ... where do we talk about such large amounts that even manual renaming
with a graphical file manager needs to speed up ... ?? (Normally, scripts are
doing this kind of stuff, and in batch.) Therefore, i would say the default
could be safe rename (two steps) and any checkbox would be for 'unsafe one-step
renaming'.
