Tools / Renamer

Renamer

Rename the selected nodes as a batch, with a before-and-after preview that flags every clash before you commit.

What it does

See it before you do it

The preview lists every name as it is and as it will be. It marks the ones that cannot go ahead: empty, invalid, used twice in the batch, or already taken by something else in the scene.

Replace, number, prefix, tidy

Search and replace, with regular expressions if you want them. Rename and number, with padding, a start, a step, or letters in place of numbers. Add or strip a prefix or suffix. And quick fixes for case, trailing numbers, namespaces and trimming characters.

One undo step

Each batch undoes in one step. The tool follows your selection, can take the children along, and shapes follow their transform's name without being asked.

A small tool, honestly

Maya renames one node at a time, or many if you write a script. This covers the ground in between and does nothing else. At two dollars, it pays for itself the first time it stops you renaming a joint chain into a clash.
