Batch Change Names tool in the Material Organizer drop-down helps change material names in some external files in batch.
After the ribbon button is clicked, it pops up a dialog for file picking.
Then the following dialog will appear to ask for how to change material names.
- Prefix/Suffix:
- Prefix: indicates the prefix to add to all names.
- Suffix: indicates the suffix to append to all names.
- Replace:
- Replace [X] With [Y]: indicates to replace the source X with the target Y.
- Options
- Case sensative: whether to match case for the source X.
- Starts with: indicates the source X should be at the start of names.
- Ends with: indicates the source X should be at the end of names.
- Contains: indicates the source X can be anywhere in the names.
- Match whole: indicates the source X should equal to the whole name.
- Use RegEx: whether to use regular expressions for both the source X and the target Y.
- Case sensative: whether to match case for the source X.
Buttons
- OK: to close the dialog and go to the next step
- Cancel: to dismiss the dialog and cancel the whole operation
If the OK button is clicked, material names will be changed accordingly into those files one by one. A progress bar will show how many files in total, which file is currently being processed, and what remaining time may be. An information box will finally show what have happened.
