Action taken

FileBoss could not find any filenames among the selected files which match the text or pattern in the From field of the Rename Selected Files Dialog.

To correct this problem, check the following:

Check that the files you want to rename are selected.
See that the correct Search Method is checked. Normally this should be either Normal or Exact unless you really know what you are doing and are a guru in the arcane syntax of Unix Grep systems.
Make sure that the Match Capitalization checkbox is not checked
