Description Rickard Pettersson 2008-12-04 12:21:16 UTC 
I working with some files that are many files with same name but different file extensions.

In Windows Vista that i used to one month ago i could rename all files with same name and the extensions was not changed.

In Ubuntu i dont can to this, then its change the file extensions to, this is one features i whant to Nautilus.

I want this too. Rickard's description is a bit confusing though.

Use case:

I have:
myBoringProject.txt
myBoringProject.png
myBoringProject.memberlist

Suddenly, i think "hmm this is actually a cool project", lets rename all files!

So i select the files and press F2 (or right-click and choose "rename"). A nice window comes up, asking me for the new name (without extension). 

I write "myCoolProject" and presses "OK". My files are now named:
myCoolProject.txt
myCoolProject.png
myCoolProject.memberlist
