Especially if you're renaming multiple files in such a manner that they will be re-sorted elsewhere, the view will change after each rename operation and you will need to manually scroll back over and over again, making the multiple-file-rename operation an infuriating experience. macOS finder behaved this way for many years and Apple got a lot of complaints about it, eventually reverting the behavior to match what Dolphin does today.
  
  
  You could argue the same with pasting. If you paste or drop a file, the Dolphin view will scroll to it.
  This patch just fixes a regression/inconsistency, as the feature was already there.
  
  Renaming a single file is probably a more common use case, so I think is safe if Dolphin privileges it over multiple successive renames. The latter use case could be fixed in other ways (for example, using the new `stash:/` ioslave).
