I also have to use a two steps process. For me, this is really unnecessary.

Well, let's think about the process:
1) User selects all the files he wants renamed
2) Then, the user explicitly tell the Editor to rename then (right-clicking and choosing this option)
3) A window pops-up and he choose the prefix and starting number
4) Only then the renaming occurs
Is this possible to happen accidentally? I wonder how the user could not mean all the files to be renamed.
Maybe, a confirmation dialog could be added in case of identical names appearing.
