2024 Bridge V14 Batch renaming does nothing

[miningphotog]

Up until 2 days ago Batch renaming was not an issue, but now when I go to run a batch with all the same steps nothing happens.  It looks like it goes through the process but the file names are still the same.  I have uninstalled, reinstalled, purged caches, tried other files etc.

Where are the files located? (On an external drive, etc.) Have you renamed files in this folder before? There is an option to move the named files to another location. Did you verify that they are going where you expect them to be?
