Rename Wizard: Skip files that do not change

[Josh_Hunt]

Vault 2022

ISSUE: I selected 2 dozen files, I renamed 4 and validated the others. The restriction below forced me to go back to the previous wizard page and then manually remove all the filenames that did not change.

IDEA: If the filename does not change then skip it during processing and report that it did not change.

This Vault's [Enforce Unique Filenames] is unchecked so that is not the problem.

On the Inventor Wish List we call ideas like this "JDI" (Just Do It) because they are very low effort and low risk and they improve user experience.

Thank you for posting the Idea. Please help me understand your workflow. If you didn't intend to rename the other 8 files, why did you select them and hit Rename?

Hi @ihayesjr  Good question. 

USE CASE: I selected all 24 files because it is easier to validate in the grid that they match the same pattern.

EXAMPLE: The blurred part of the image above are all the same model number. However some model numbers were written inconsistently (spaces that should be underscores, redundant characters).

VAULT UI CONSISTENCY: This is not a huge issue for me but I'm logging it for UI consistency. The Edit Properties wizard is does not care about "unchanged" files.

1. Edit Properties on a set of files.
2. Edit some properties or none.
3. Finish/Process > no errors for unchanged files but report displays that nothing was changed on those files.
