--- Comment #2 from arian at sanusi.de ---
I think there's a misunderstanding: there's actually two rename functions in
thunar. The basic one when you have one item selected, the advanced one when
you have at least two selected. This enhancement refers to the advanced one.

The advanced one has the options to:
- Insert Datetime
- replace at position
- enumerate
- delete positions
- search and replace including regex
- converting case

I could emulate that by duplicate / link and then rename, but it's cumbersome.

Also I completely agree that these operations under "rename" don't make sense.
But rename could be part of an advanced file operations function where users
can choose the operation:
- rename & move (`mv` in sh)
- copy (`cp` in sh)
- (soft)link (`ln -s` in sh) 
- hardlink (`ln` in sh)
together with the destination name with the same options as the advanced rename
that exists today, with the destination naming options as in advanced rename /
first list.
