Hello,

Do you know a working script to rename batch of objects in Blender 2.63?

I unsuccessfully tested object_batch_rename_datablocks.py and object_multi_rename.py.

Thanks for your help.

Batch Rename Datablocks script seems to work fine:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Object/Batch_Rename_Datablocks

What it doesn't is renaming multi-user datablocks

Actually I didn't understood the interface of object_batch_rename_datablocks.py. I was expecting a field for the string to be replaced.

So I rewrote object_multi_rename.py extending the functionalities

I made this add-on over the last few weeks:

It should have everything you need short of naming materials and textures which I plan on implementing shortly.
