In a dired buffer, I "% m" to mark all files containing ".org". The first of these, for instance, is called "animals.org". Once the files are marked, I intend to move them to a new directory, and I type "R". Then the minibuffer says, "Pinging animals.org (Non-profit Organization)..." And the process stalls. A quick investigation via "C-h k R" tells me that the command is still bound to "dired-do-rename". What is getting called here, and why? It seems only to happen when I'm trying to rename multiple marked files. If I mark only one, things happen as they should. Thank you! steven arntson
