Even, as a seasoned user, one can have the issue: I rename folder 1, then change folder, why can't there be an option in batch rename to continue the numbering as now, OR to reset the numbering to 1?

Hi, I assume that you are using the latest version, it is supposed to adapt automatically: while versions prior to 2023 require a preference change: Edit > Preferences > Type(Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > Type (macOS). In the Choose Text Engine Options section, select World-Ready Layout.  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/arabic-hebrew.html if you have the latest version, maybe reset the text tool via a right click on its icon in the option bar. ...

Spring loaded tools have been in Photoshop for years. It is a 17 years old feature: http://jnack.com/blog/2008/09/22/cs4_sweating_the_details/  And way before that the spacebar was working as a spring loaded tool, you could move/zoom in or out and return to your tool but it is only a few years ago, like 2020 that issues started to pop related to that, hence the addition of that preferences to adjust the responsiveness of spring-loaded tools. I am not sure if something in the code of Photoshop changed, or if the operating systems are listening, auto-correcting, etc. but something in the environment has changed in regard to keystrokes. ...

I tried to do it from memory, and I went to the scripting documentation on github and mistakenly entered "Document.crop" instead of Crop.
