Feature description

đź§ User story: As an organizer, I want to rename many files with patterns so that I can clean naming quickly.

đź’ˇProposal: A batch rename dialog supporting variables and live preview.

✨Acceptance criteria: Variables: {name} {ext} {num} {date} with zero‑padding; regex replace mode.
Live preview for all selected items; collision handling (skip/replace/keep both).
Dry‑run confirmation step before execution.

Why do you want this feature?

Manual renaming is slow and error‑prone.

Additional information

🤍🤝Notes/Tech hints: Keep it offline and deterministic; remember last pattern per session.
Other files explorers offer naming patterns—target parity.
