Introduction

Simple Renaming Panel is a small, but really powerful tool to rename more objects at once. The tool includes basic functionalities of adding suffixes, prefixes, search and replace, add suffixes depending on the object type and much more. You decide which kind of objects will be effected by the renaming task, all or just selected objects, should it affect image textures, materials, objects, object data, bones or groups. This tool can be a real everyday helper as renaming multiple objects is needed very often and keeping the naming conventions can be tedious. The tool provides you with a clear feedback of what has been renamed. This tool is kept simple to be user friendly but offers everything you need to stay organized.
