Hi All Has anyone experienced the following while using Photoshop CS in Panther?
Batch rename a folder of files with a generic name, a starting serial of #1 and extension. For example, fileName_01.jpg. Batch rename 6 files again. Rearrange files, so that the newly named files are at the top of the browser window, and select the rest of the files for batch renaming with the intention of continuing the rising serial number. In the Batch Rename dialog, change the starting serial to #7. Click OK and get a warning dialog that says: Could not move the file 'fileName_12.jpg' because a file of the same name already exists. A file of that name does exist in the folder but I'm trying to "change" its name and not "move" it: the dialog says "move" the file, whereas I'm trying to "rename" files in the same folder. Also, if I continue with the batch, because other file names already exist among the selected files, the batch effectively stops. I can understand Photoshop not being able to move/rename a file if that filename already exists in a folder and the file is NOT selected, but if the file is earmarked for change, then surely it should not be treated as a permanent resident. No? Not looking for workarounds. Just want to know if I have a problem on my machine or if this is a known bug or, for reasons best know to the programmers, selected files earmarked for renaming are treated as permanent residents and not taken out of the equation, even when selected.
