How to default Automatically rename if new filename exists?

Searching for 'Automatically rename' within Preferences I found 'Automatically number files when names clash'.
Regretfully that (handy) option is limited to inline rename.

When doing a batch rename, I still need to tag the option mentioned in the title thread, which I tend to forget.

Could this inline option be expanded to the normal batch renaming?
Or add an option to have this 'Automatically rename if new filename exist' defaulted?
Personally, I think it is quite handy.

Thanks.
