Renaming a file by specifying a name

Help & Support
1

Is it possible to quickly implement the following renaming operation in Directory Opus:
For the order in which the selected files are displayed, the order of the files is determined by the sorting method currently set in Directory Opus (e.g. by name, date, type, etc.).
The second file is named "Y002";
The fifth "R005";
The sixth "Z006";
The seventh "L007";
The eighth "H008";
The tenth "F010";
Eleventh "L011".
The names of the other documents remain unchanged.

Forgive me if this requirement seems silly, I do this frequently and would like to be able to do the above with the click of a button.

Thanks lxp, your replies are always prompt and efficient.
Now there's a problem, the extension of the file is removed after renaming it
