  • +Rename a file right from the metadata panel: click the filename to copy it, or click the pencil to rename it in place (paired XMP sidecar is renamed too, unsaved edits are kept)

  • +Batch Rename presets: click a preset to load it, update a loaded preset in one click, and rename presets in place
