The position of a folder changes after renaming files in it
I have a folder with about 1000 files. When I add a bunch of files to it, I need to rename each one to a specific rename.
Before the recent upgrade, after renaming a file, it would go to t...
For example, when I add a hundred files from a scanner, to ant folder, these added files are all named PNGImage 1,2,3.pdf by Dropbox. So I need to change each file to a patient name.
before the software upgrade, I would rename pngimage 1 to a patient name. Then it would move to pngimage 2, which I would rename as well, then it would move my location to pngimage 3. It was convenient.
Now, instead of moving to the next png image file it pops me to the first file in the folder, alphabetically. Then I have to scroll down through about 1000 files to find the next pngimage file to rename. It takes 2 to 3 times longer to rename a bunch of files after the latest upgrade.
can you please let me know what part of this is understandable?

Thanks, I suspected it was a change that was not well considered.
another problem is when doing a search on a name in some folder, I need to back out of that folder and back in before doing the search on the next name.
