Bug Description

If you select multiple files and right-click, there should still be a Rename option, which will open a renamer for multiple files, like KRename.

thank you for your bug report, how would that be working exactly? would it open multiple dialogs? doesn't seem something very useful or obvious to use

It probably should just call a dedicated renaming tool, since there are already a billion written:

pyRenamer looks like it integrates well with the Gnome desktop
GPRename
Purrr
KRename
...

Thunar apparently has this built in.
