Actually, BookBrowser uses an ItemDelegate and stores the current name in it. So after changing the name a whole set of files must be searched and links potentially updated, the opf changed, etc. The Context menu sets this all up. So it will never be as simple just movingto the next File and expecting to rename it with no special keys or mouse clicks.

That is why Sigil itself can block rename and add numbers to file names. For anything more elaborate use the ReRenamer (regex) tool to block rename files.
