Description of the new feature / enhancement

It's very common for me to receive image.png or image.jpg files lately, and I'd like a snappy way to be give them a unique name (currently, I'm facerolling my keyboard). Would it be possible for PowerRename to simply rename the file using a checksum, or some other unique value?

Unfortunately, the download modal doesn't offer to append (1) or such in windows.

Scenario when this would be used?

endless files with the same name that need to be unique somehow.

Not at the moment. You can try using file creation date time maybe?
