Auto naming and replacing materials?

[DasMatze]

Hello!

I'm looking for plugins which allow me to

• replace certain textures with other ones (like replacing "Black_Center.png","Black_Side.png" and "Black_Corner.png" with "Red_Center.png", "Red_Side.png" and "Red_Corner.png")
• name all materials after the filename of the texture (if it uses a texture)

The second function is more important. I cannot code but if you can give me a line of code that does that, I could try to wrap it up as a plugin.

Thank you in advance!

The method texturepath = material.texture.filename returns the path/name of the material's texture's image-file. Use something like imagename = nil; imagename = File.basename(material.texture.filename) if material.texture...
To change a material's texture you use a new path material.texture="C:/.../mytetxure.png".
To get a material's name use matname = material.name.
To rename a material use material.name="newname" OR material.name=imagename if imagename - note that the renaming method is unavailable in older versions of Sketchup...
