That makes sense.  I didn't really notice the "same beginnings" part, but was thinking "same name."

Thanks for a quick response.

Hello,

First, thanks for the great program.   It is very capable and useful.

I found a problem renaming files from my digital camera.  I am saving raw and jpeg photos for each shot.  If I use %ncs, the .nef file gets a "selection number," but there is no other file with the same name.  It looks like the extension is not being checked when looking for name collisions.

thanks for your time,
Max

Here is a screen shot of Siren with the problem files highlighted.
