Lack of auto-Reload causes blocking of Multi Rename window - a need for Undo button?

I sometimes perform on my files two renaming task in a subsequent matter. These are:
A] Renaming with the usage of Multi Rename > Settings > Pattern > File Name
B] Renaming with the usage of Multi Rename > Profiles
And every time I do so in that particular error [i.e. A ---> B], I am reminded by a pop-up window with an error that the user between the "A" and "B" process has to manually reload the list of files present in Multi Rename window by clicking a particular button. And that requires five tiresome / unnecessary clicks:
1] closing of the pop-up window
2] pressing the Reload button
3] going back to Profiles
4-5] repeating execution of a stored profile
While when working the other way [i.e. B ---> A], there is no pop up window, but still the user has to manually reload the list of files
And so for consideration are:
I] Cannot the Multi Rename window reload itself immediately - be it by default or by setting chosen by a user?
II] Cannot the Multi Rename window reload itself when switching from Settings to Profiles and the other way around - be it by default or by setting chosen by a user?
III] Why spit out an error when the cause for it is obvious - and not just grey out [thus block] list of available Profiles, just like almost the whole Settings tab is made unavailable after pressing in it the Rename button?
IV] Cannot there be a Reload button present also in the Profiles tab?
V] Why not add the Undo option in a form of a button - thus [as I recon] eliminate a need for manual execution of Reload [which serves as a fail-safe]?
All in all I think that in regards to [auto]reloading such stipulated Undo button could replace the need for an obligatory Reload button clicking
