Description of the new feature / enhancement

Hi team,

This is a feature usability feedback regarding PowerRename.

I recently needed to add the same prefix to multiple filenames. This used to be something I could do just by looking at the UI, but now it's much harder to figure out. I ended up using Copilot to guide me through it.

As a non-engineer who often works under time pressure, I found the new experience unintuitive and stressful. I hope PowerRename can become more accessible again for quick, simple tasks like this one.

Thanks for your great work, and I hope this helps improve usability!

Scenario when this would be used?

When I need to rename many files at once by adding the same prefix—usually during quick document organization or batch exports for clients.
