Status:
RESOLVED: MOVED

STR:

0. Create 2 files in a new folder via thunar: "name02" and "name03"
1. CTRL-A to select all
2. F2 to rename
3. Choose `Numbering` as the rewriting scheme with settings:
 - Number Format: `01, 02, 03, ...`
 - Starts With: `1`
 - Text Format: `Text - Number`
 - Text: `name`
4. Choose `Name only` from the dropdown
5. Click `Rename Files`

Result:
Throws a warning: `Failed to rename "name03" to "name02"`

It appears to be failing because the new and old names overlap. If that is the problem, perhaps a temporary name should be used (temporary names are obviously not ideal but this is a really nice tool and it should always work).

The problem is not obvious especially if you have lots of files, say "file070" to "file300".
