Name Only operation (rename not available)

Hi,
I have selected a couple of files, then selected "Rename...", filled out required/wanted values and the [Rename Files] button is still greyed (= cannot rename the files).
Note: when I select the "Suffix only" operation the button is enabled.

See the pictures attached.

That's expected behavior.
If you would rename all filenames to "1932.Lide- ...", than two of the files would have the same name, which is not possible within the same folder.

That's why the two new filenames are marked bold red in "new name"
And that's why "Rename Files" is greyed out.

However it is fine to put the same suffix on all these files, since the first part, the "name" already is different for all three.

Oh, I see.
Mea culpa!

Thank you,
