Multiple repetitions of the files renaming process

If I uncheck and check again the "Automatically rename files" setting, it gives me a list of files to rename. If I do it again, it repeats exactly the same list.
It seems that the files listed are PDF files without extension:

If I find the PDF file without extension and use the "Rename File to Match Parent Item" button next to the filename in the attachment's item pane, the Filename correctly gets its PDF extension.

After:

After that, this file does not appear in the preview anymore.

But if I apply the files renaming from the settings, after disabling and enabling again the "Automatically rename files", the files do not get their ".pdf" extension.
So the file renaming for these files is broken only from the global renaming window.

Thank you for reporting the issue. This should be fixed in the latest beta.
