Renaming files with vidir (moreutils)

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I'm trying to use vidir from the moreutils package and I have the following issue:
When I load the files I want to rename with vidir like this:

$ vidir

or like this:

$ find -type f | vidir --verbose -

vidir displays a number, a tab, and the full path of the files like this:

1   ./file1

2   ./file2

3   ./file3

or if it isn't the current folder like this:

1   ./folder/subfolder1/file1

2   ./folder/subfolder1/file2

3   ./folder/subfolder1/file3

Now, I see some advantages in this like the ability to swap file names by swaping the numbers or editing folder names but I just want to rename the files in the same folder and maybe delete some files. My issue is when I use regex to rename the filenames everything could be affected,namely the numbers, the slashes, the dots and the tabs. I tried to remove them at start make my modifications and then rebuild them but vidir complains when I save the file and close the editor.

So how could circumvent this issue? Am I missing something?

EDIT:
I tried again to remove the vidir prefix before I start my modifications and add it back when I'm finished and it seems to be working. These are the functions I used in Vim:

" Remove vidir prefix

function! VidirRemovePrefix()

    :%s/d*t.//

endfunction    



" Delete line

function! VidirDeleteLine()

    :s/^d*t.*//

endfunction  



" Add vidir prefix back

function! VidirAddPrefix()

    :%s /^/t.//

    execute "normal! ggVG"   

    :let i=1 | '<,'>g/^/ s//=i . ""/ | let i+=1

endfunction

For some reason the last function does not always work. If this is the case then I execute the last line (for inserting the numbers) manually in the command line.
