I understand what you say but this isn't how it used to be.

I used this feature to change the case of the extension from .JPG to .jpg
because Linux is case-sensitive and I like all the extensions to be the
same. Sure, I can change the .ext in other ways, but now it's a multi-step
operation whereas previously I could do it in one.

If nothing has changed in DK (as a previous responder said) then could this
be something in KDE? I know DK is a KDE application and drags in a whole
load of KDE libraries when it's installed.
