Yes, that sounds fantastic.
Side-by-side Before/Afters would be nice.
As an example, I use Bulk Rename Utility:
and it shows any files that are being changed as green. And any options that are going to be applied with an orange box.

I think having a Default/Advanced Mode for Sigil's Bulk Rename would work.
Default would be similar to how it is now, except you get a few extra "basic options":
- Remove
- First n
- Last n
- Note: Takes numbers only. Chops off the characters (not counting extension).
- Add
- Prefix
- Suffix
- Note: Takes a string. Adds it before/after the filename.
- Change Extension To (?)
- (Maybe this could be a separate string box?)
- Currently, this is a "hidden" feature of Sigil. If you type "ReplaceText", it only changes filename, but if you type "ReplaceText.xhtml", the extension gets changed too.

Maybe Advanced enables you to then use Regex (just a little checkbox toggle? Or maybe the same 3 Mode dropdown as Sigil's Ctrl+F?).
Side Note: Kind of reminds me of Thunar's bulk rename. That regex support was so great to have built directly into the file manager!
