2) Using KRename
2.3) Rename, Copy or Move Files
The second step (as well in beginners and advanced mode) is to choose wether your files should be just renamed, renamed and moved to a new directory or copied and renamed to a new directory. The last option is the safest option as you just modify the names of the copied files. If something went wrong you can just delete the copied files and try again with the originals.

By default KRename will never overwrite existing files, only if the option on this page is checked existing files will be overwritten.
The last option you have on this page is the option to create an undo script. An undo script is a normal bash script that will undo the renaming operation. You can either execute the script from your commandline (you have to pass the --krename option so that the script works) or by using KRename's confortable GUI for this task: Extras -> Undo old renaming operation... . Be careful with this option as it cannot be used to undo renaming of remote files. The instant undo, which is always active, is able to undo remote file renaming!
If you are using KRename in the advanced mode you will also have the option to create symbolic links to the input files in a separate directory. Creating symbolic links works like the copy option, only that files are not copied but linked. Of course this works only if the target file system supports symbolic links. This will not work on your Windows partition.
