When you are in a duplicate files search you can't rename the files, as you could in fslint-gui.

After trying Czkawka for the first time today, I was going to come here and create this same feature request. For me, I have used this type of feature on a Windows program called Duplicate Cleaner.

Before deleting out dupes, there are sometimes extra bits of information from the file to be purged that I want to integrate into the one to be preserved. It's not a matter of just choosing to deleting the other one instead, because that one may also have some unique information in its name compared its match.

Not sure how things work on fslint, but on Duplicate Cleaner I can either select and hit F2 key to rename the item in the search results., or select, right click, and select 'rename' from a popup box containing other abilities like marking the file for deletion or opening the folder containing it.

While it is possible to use the double-right click to open folders, compare, and rename, it's a bit more time-consuming versus just having the option right there. Also, this open folder capability currently does not navigate to the actual file (v4.0.0, Windows, 2022.04.19).

+1 for copying some text from the file to be deleted then inserting it into the name of the file to be retained. I am frequently jumping out to File Manager to perform the rename.
