Error when renaming files with xmp sidecar

If I select a group of files to rename and some of them have an xmp sidecar (created when labelling in XnView), I get an error and cannot rename the files. If I select a smaller group of files that have no sidecar files, then they rename without any problems. See screenshot. I'm using XnView MP 1.4.3 64-bit.

yes it's depends of 'Settings>File list - Companions'

I have that setting turned on. I'm expecting XnView to rename the raw file and the sidecar. But instead, I get this error.

you have companion settings, so you need to select only RAW files to rename...

Yes, that's what I've done. See the first screenshot. But I still get an error on the files for which a sidecar exists.

I can't see a way to attach an .ini file to a post, so here's a Drive link:

And, by the way, I can confirm that I have the same error on both of my computers (desktop and laptop), and that it happens with different raw files (Nikon and Sony). Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
Tom.

Yes, that was it! It works now without an error. Thank-you very much for taking the time to help.
