ALTOGETHER, VERY DISAPPOINTED — Solved Issue, Thank You!
I'm with CO since v. 6. Every update was a joy and a great pleasure to discover
but that latest version is very disappointing — 13.1.1 that is, 13.1 was fine.
1, Batch rename crashes the app.
2, the heal/clone tools are not reliable and unpredictable.
All versions were tight and working fine but this 13.1.1 is a disaster of loose ends
and the app is slower.
BTW, the new logo is ugly… just me.

I agree that there is a lot of space to improve the heal/clone tool whic is, as you say, unpredictable. I have submitted two cases to the support about that (heal and clone) and I didn't get any positive answer yet.
I didn't try to batch rename.

Greetings Robert,
I used to batch rename all incoming file to rip off only the 3 letters
and the underscore prefix to be replaced by our archive system.
Was a dream… but I now have to rely on ABFR, more powerful btw.0 -
My observations...
In a session -- haven't tried when using a catalog -- I can select a group of images and use batch rename without issue. Typically I'm doing a straight string replacement, not using any tokens. My batch renames are usually less than 30 images.
What kind of batch renames are you doing?
I find the heal tools to be about mostly effective. Once in a while the mask doesn't show and other times the circles and arrow for a particular change is missing when I turn them on to make a needed adjustment. The tool is usable, but annoying.

Hi Marco
— What kind of batch renames are you doing?
Typically, a file will come as "DSC_9999.NEF". I remove the first
four characters and replace them with the archiving section that
is a single capital. Then I will replace ".NEF" with say " XD.NEF"
These identify the body it was shot with and who did it.
The final result goes from "DSC_9999.NEF" to "F9999 XD.NEF".
ABFR permits to do all operations in one go. I was able to rename
any number as I needed and never met a limit — now, it crashes
at one single file.
— The tool is usable, but annoying.
Annoying indeed… I prefer to edit in a real pixel editor from Sérif!

I think that the seriousness of the app is compromised when they
work harder at converting Lr users by implementing catalogues and
others. Up to v.12, I got many students over to CO12 but since then…0
