@emateli Thank you, I do understand that BatchMoveJob could be more versatile for a various kind of operations, but couldn't it be easier to just edit the BatchRenameJob's hardcoded logic and make it more parametric?
If I understand correctly you're referring to the fact that the ctor of BatchRenameJob is accepting a QChar and it only substitutes it with numbers, wouldn't be easier to edit that logic instead? I'm asking because I think you already have considered this option and concluded that it was not worth it

@emateli Thank you for your response, I saw that patch and I sincerely don't understand the reason why you're writing a completely different job (BatchMoveJob) when the required operation is exactly a BatchRenameJob.
I'm asking this because I've never used a "batch rename" feature to move files to a different folder, I always used that to rename multiple files with a regex pattern or a numbering sequence instead, but maybe it's just me.
@emateli Are you still working on this? I'd love to see this feature implemented, I wanted to start by myself then on the Matrix Dolphin channel they suggested seeing this patch and it's awesome! Could you use some help?
