Bug Description

I have a big disk (in ntfs) full with directories.
In each folder I have:
movie.avi
movie.nfo
movie.jpg
movie.fanart.jpg

I used pyrenamer (in Ubuntu 10.04) to rename each movie.jpg in all folders (one per folder). After this, I noticed that some folders were empty.
I ran R-Studio, I found the files and a bunch of folders I did not notice that were missing.
It happened twice.

So a tool I really liked (pyrenamer), I am now afraid of using it.
