Check user-named files before renaming

Is there an option to check the following before renaming:
If there are similar file names, provided / edited by the user?

Example :

File 1.JPG was given a new name manually.
After the renaming both files, first one got the following error: Cannot create a file when that file already exists

If there was a check, it could have warned me about the duplicate file names, and did not let the renaming start or allowed me to skip those files.

This is checked by the Validation process, which is executed automatically during Preview.

When you edit filenames manually you can call the Validation process manually via the Options menu (above the files table), or using the Shift+V shortcut.

Please consider adding the option of checking file names before renaming if they were changed by user. User can forget to do the validation before starting to rename and automatic validator doesn't check user corrections ( as shown on the picture)

That is a good point. It's added to the list. Thanks.
