SUMMARY
(v5.0.2) - After selecting files to rename and clicking open, an error appears
"file ... could not be found" but the file often doesn't exist and you can't
proceed without canceling. The file names given often aren't present in the
directory either. This makes the app unusable because there's no practical way
to identify the affected file. The app desperately needs a "Skip" option (or
better, an auto skip option that displays an error report) that leaves the file
offending file unchanged, allowing the user to manually rename and move it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select files to rename
2. Click Open
3. Get error: The file "/home/...../FILENAME" could not be found
4. Attempt to locate the file but there is no file with the exact name (though
several with some part of the beginning of the name)
5. Cancel the rename attempt
6. Try again with same result
OBSERVED RESULT
If the app throws this error there's no practical way to get around it other
than selecting small batches, which is unpractical with large numbers of files.
EXPECTED RESULT
