Bug Description

If you select multiples files in Nautilus, you can't rename all theses files at the same time...
For example if you have picture1.jpg and PICT2.jpg, I would be able to rename all theses files to "last_holidays", thus implied rename the files in "last_holidays1.jpg" and "last_holidays2.jpg".
This would be a great and simple improvement!

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

A feature request is not a papercut.
A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.
