Bulk renaming files renames extensions incorrectly

When I select a file pattern to rename, for example "Folder.jpg" and rename it with the pattern "Front.jpg", I end up with all of my selected files "Front.jpg.jpg".

To rename it, I have to undo which works, or if I rename it again the bulk selection method, I have to rename "Front.jpg.jpg" to "Front", which gives me "Front.jpg" as the final result.

There is no bug here.
If you use batch rename you leave out the extension and if you really want to change it you'll use the /e switch

Code: Select all

"Folder.jpg" | Pattern: "Front" | Result: "Front.jpg"
"Folder.jpg" | Pattern: "Front.jpg" | Result: "Front.jpg.jpg"
"Folder.jpg" | Pattern: "Front.jpg /e" | Result: "Front.jpg"
"Folder.jpg" | Pattern: "Front.png /e" | Result: "Front.png"
