Hi,
BRU will operate on all selected files, regardless of whether or not they are getting a new name. It has to do this, otherwise things like the Change Attributes and the Change Timestamp features would only work if the file was also getting a new name.
If you aren;t using the New Location logic, BRU will compare the full current path with the full "new" path. If the two are identical then it will skip
this file. But if you are moving the file then of course the paths will never be identical, so the move will be processed.
If you select all files, and some get new names and others do not, the New Location logic will still take effect.
For your situation, what you should probably do is tick the "group affected files" option, then sort by a column. You can then easily select the block of files to be renamed as they will be grouped together.
Hope this helps.
Jim
