Advanced batch rename

Rename a whole folder without holding your breath.

Bulk naming becomes dangerous when the first surprise appears after the files change. Kondor shows the entire proposed result first, flags conflicts, and keeps extensions and recovery in the workflow.

What slows people down

Where the default workflow gets slow.

One malformed rule can rename hundreds of files incorrectly.

Duplicate output names and extension mistakes are easy to miss in a small dialog.

Manual rename work is slow, inconsistent, and hard to repeat.
