Question Feature Request: (Bulk) Rename files

Hello Capink,

may I make a new feature request ?
Would it be possible to add a Rename File(s) action for Editor Chains ?

(I use actions to add/import files such as standard Titles etc. in my book, but have problems when same-name files already exist.
I cannot always overwrite them -- e.g., if I import "Title.html" and a "title.html" already exists, it won't overwrite it, even if the "overwrite" option is selected. In that case I must first use "delete files" to remove Title.html and title.html.
Overwrite does work correctly if the existing file is also called Title.html).

I'd like to be able to e.g. rename "title.html" to "title_old.html" before importing. I also frequently rename files e.g. ".*?c\d+.(x*)html" to "Book-\1.xhtml). Would be nice if there was a Rename files action (with the usual Regex etc. to select files).
And, additionally, to have something like the "Bulk Rename" feature which offers automatic numbering of multiple files being renamed...

If ever you have the time & feel like doing this... :-) thanks
