 * **Error**
   Sorry, an error occured! Don’t worry, I will fix this, so simply let
   me know about it.Here is some information about it:
 * Failed to execute ‘removeChild’ on ‘Node’: The node to be removed is not a child
   of this node.
 * Received above message after renaming a JPG file. Tried in Troubleshooting mode“
   on” and the error still happens. Using WP Version 6.6.2, and Media Renamer 6.0.0.
 * File was originally named “2024/10/286ec379-5d77-4b74-a505-52e9b90ec1da.jpg” 
   and seems to be named that afterwards (no renaming occurred).

 * Hey [@bkjproductions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bkjproductions/)! 👋
 * Do you have any way to reproduce this issue reliably? Could you try on another
   device or browser to see if the issue persists? Thanks!

 * Hi [@valwa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valwa/), It seems to happen reliably
   in Chrome and Firefox, latest versions, in Windows.
 * It happens anytime I do a _single _edit of an image. That is, in your **Renamer**
   panel, there is a list with columns ** Filename & Metadata, **and **Attached 
   To**. Each item has an **Edit **button. When I click that, I can enter the new**
   Title, Alt, Caption **and **Description**. Those values are updated in the Media
   Library, despite the error that appears. My expectation, which may be wrong, 
   is that at the same time, your plugin would automatically update the _filename
   _to that of the Title? (Now that I look it a little more, it seems you have an**
   Auto** button to click for that, which then will rename the file after you click.
   Doh!)
 * Anyway, the error happens when you click the single Edit button, but does _not
   _seem to happen when doing a batch.
