for each file,
Yes.. but maybe not for each file discrete but as, hmm, kind of an array?
Would not be as slow as each single file alone.

Yes, exactly.
- Just i and my ideas :-( -
I meant this for guys and gals who are able to wrote an script with VB or C or AutoHotkey e.t.c. pp.
Perhaps we can extend the features of Siren with such kind of plugins?
For special purposes.
Which you don't want to include in the main app.

EDIT:
As addition or instead ... what about a new feature like this...
1. user select some files
2. user press new button "Edit in editor"
3. Siren export the file names to %tmp%\sirenXYZ123.txt
... and shows an "please wait" -dialog
4. Siren starts the editor the user sets in the options ...
... or the windows default... with %tmp%\sirenXYZ123.txt as parameter.
5. Siren waits ---- till the user is finished and had saved the modified %tmp%\sirenXYZ123.txt
6. either Siren detects that the %tmp%\sirenXYZ123.txt time stamp is altered ....
...or the user have to press an [OK]-button in the "wait" dialog
7. Siren re-reads the %tmp%\sirenXYZ123.txt and show this line per line as future names.
7b Siren deletes %tmp%\sirenXYZ123.txt
8. over to the user....
