Allow batch renaming with metadata fields that include illegal characters

Use cases

Renaming multiple files at once using the batch rename feature does not work if at least one metadata field includes illegal characters, e.g. /.

Desired behavior

Possible solutions:

  • Allow the metadata field to be used for all files that do not include illegal characters, and skip renaming the conflicting file(s);
  • Allow renaming the files while skipping illegal character(s);
  • Allow substituting the illegal character(s) with alternatives.
