John, I don't think you misunderstood. There are a number of workarounds. Probably the easiest, which I ended up using, is to change the digit serial number from, say, #1 to #2 and then rename them all again by selecting digit serial number #1, which was my first choice. This way you don't need to move the files or to deselect them. My feeling is a workaround shouldn't be necessary IF the duplicate file name Photoshop is seeing is included in the batch of files you wish to rename. Does that make sense? So, if you are trying to rename a bunch of files in a rising sequence as fileName_01.jpg to fileName_24.jpg and a file called fileName_12.jpg already exists in the folder, it's perfectly reasonable for Photoshop to put the brakes on. However, if fileName_12.jpg is selected, it should be assumed you want to change it's name (hence the reason for selecting it!) and taken out of the list of files that exist in the folder.
