            Bug ID: 486619
           Summary: Improbve renaming of multiple files
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.02.2

Hmm, are there no enhancement requests?

When I try to rename multiple files then dolphin offers only the option to add
a number at the end. That's really not very helpful.

Assume following situation. I have 3 files:

My wnoderful movie.mp4
My wnoderful movie Backcover.jpg
My wnoderful movie Frontcover.jpg

Now I want to fix the typo. Multirename wont help here, so I have to fix the
typo 3 times.

JDownloader has a much better solution for this. When I select the three files
it presents me with
Search for "My wnoderful movie*"
Replace by "My wnoderful movie$1"
Now when I change the text the * part represented by $1 in replace is copied
into the new text and thus one rename can do all three changes. Even when
pattern and regexp aren't your regular thing that's easy to understand and to
use (you only need to remember not to touch the $1).

Please add a similar multi-file-replace in dolphin.
