I was able to reproduce the bug again, this time with 4 blank text files. As soon as I click rename button, nautilus freezes and stops responding but other applications continue to work. After a minute or so, other applications too freeze including the clock. Mouse pointer moves but not smoothly. Mouse clicks don't work, system fans are in full speed and HDD activity LED is on.
The only way to get system work again was hard reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1928867 Title: System freeze on bulk rename Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 20.04 Nautilus 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1 Bug: I have 8 files named as file-1.jpg, file-2.jpg, ... file-8.jpg When I select them all and rename using template as 'file-[1, 2, 3]' in descending order, the system freezes. Perhaps because the files already exist with same name? I was expecting the files to be renamed in descending series - file-1.jpg as file-8.jpg, file-2.jpg as file-7.jpg and so on..
