There was no consensus or majority apparent for users who expressed their
opinions in their votes.
In fact most users who voted in the discussion seem to see the new behavior as
good, but this was no proper poll.

We cannot make assumptions on how users are disciplined in creating
semantically relevant folders and storing only files relating to that.
That's the error previous behavior did.

How about the Downloads folder ?
How about a Videos dirs containing subtitles ?
A document directory containing photos ?

I don't understand the workflow exactly.
It seems this can be achieved using a few rename F2 or using ark.
The change made this workflow less convenient for sure.
But we can't base behaviors on one user particular workflow. 

On the other how many users confusion will be alleviated by the change ?
