P: Rename multiple layers in one go

Sorry to reserruct this post, default behavior in windows file explorer, even back in 2012, was > Select Multiple Files > Rename The File > Files are then named iteratively; File(1) File(2) File(3).

This is the kind of functionality one would expect from a computer program that involves complex data management.

Try the various scripts in this topic, arboards/layers/groups should all be interchangeable unless a specific script is targeting a specific layer kind.

Is thera a way to rename multiple groups?

I didnt spend too much time with it, but it looked pretty impressive...

I think you are right. I'll make some changes to the trial next week.

I did not really make the plug-in for money I made it for my own company. We save a lot of time using it. Send us a mail and I can help worth the Version you have.

Fair enough, apologies for not spotting the stuff in the description box.

It most certainly isn't my call but 5 clicks seems a little bit restrictive, but I'm sure there are good business reasons for it.

Cheers

Sorry to hear you are having a probem. It does say in the discription of the Trial version that its limited to 5 actions. But maybe it would be a good idea to have a dialong box at the start as well.

I will add that soon.

Gotta say REALLY disappointed with Swift, there is no obvious warning that it has only 5 tries before it dies - so after trying to figure it out without killing my project, it suddenly points out that it is now dead and I need to PAY for it to continue.

On the adobe site it says FREE... I saw nothing saying 5 butons presses...

Now I'm completely cool with being asked to pay for it but it's a bit rum when you fiddle with it and then it stops and asks for money. Without a heads up.

Deleted - moved on

The free version is limited to 5 actions. The paid version is 12$.

It greatly speeds up the process of selecting and renaming layers. And can also perform other batch process that have always been a big pain when working with a large number of layers.
