[Plugin] Rename by Layer v1.0.3
-
Are you real Renderiza?
Are you peeking on my shoulder and coding while I'm writing? Are you doing it right now? Yikes!
Let me test and I will answer!
Thanks,

Ghosteriza you uncanny coder,
I already tested it and you nailed it! The option to write a name is awesome!
The only option the plugin lacks right now could be "renaming selection only". If you manage to pull it off too, then it covers everything I need for now and in the predictable future... in terms of renaming!
There is still some room for improvement... If you are the prefectionist it seems you are, you could some how automate/facilitate the process described in the images that follow.
The idea for plugin that I was talking about before was to rename groups/components, using the name of the group/components where they are nested in. When you are working inside a group called "columns" every group component inside it would be renamed to "columns - 00n" whatever the layer they would be on.
In other words your dialog would have a logo that would say "My name is: rename by GROUP". For me it's redundant now, but I can see some uses though. Maybe create even one more option would solve it.
This would pose a new problem though... your plugin would be much more than layer based naming, and you could also want to change the name of the plugin. You have a keen sense for names/renames so I bet you can figure out something funny! An image that crosses my mind would be Swiss Army Kname...
Thanks and thanks, and get the hell out of my shoulder... It spooks me!

What a powerful concept! Could make me rethink the way I manage my Sketchup models...
Could the plugin be adapted to also have a filter for the active layer?
Thank you very much!

Will try to add this feature for next update.

Good idea indeed will see if I can work on it.

Love it!

However if one could somehow choose to rename/clear only instances names or definition names the job would be handled much easily.
Will see how that can be a feature for next update.
Note: By the way thanks for making me laugh!

Very good updates. It's almost unbelievable that something like this is not already done before.
-
great idea... really great for organizing models.
-
the window could be 80% smaller
-
You can make the content smaller by pressing ( ctrl - ). What is the resolution of your screen...can I see screen capture?
In the future maybe collapsible tabs may help but not sure.
Thanks
-
It is getting really great - BIG THANKS!!
Can We have an option to append the layer name or/and numbers to the existing component's/group's names? -

Amazing! Really Really good. A great companion to this is "Layers Panel" - photoshop layers window with nested layers. still in Beta and some wrinkles to iron out but, Like this plugin, very impressive!!
All i could say on a negative - could we have a smaller window? it takes up alot of space and we know the name of it, if we lost the logo (sorry), at least i'd get back half my screen.
cheers for the great plugin

I am a big fan of "Layers Panel" and think everyone should have it...Can't recommend it enough! http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=488833#p488833

Next update should have smaller windows and I agree that the logo is taking too much space.
Thanks for feedback...cheers!

%(#909090)[What is new:- The web-dialog is smaller
- Keep existing name - This will include the existing name to the newly created one. For example:
Layer = bed
Existing name = door
Add Number = True / Prefix
Result = 001 - bed - door]
Again thanks for feedback!
Note: Need to recheck "Keep existing name" feature since its not working...will try to fix it as soon.
-
Fixed the "keep existing name" feature but in the mean time it should work only on groups.
-
Unbelievable Renderiza, your plugin is now able to rename without changing name? What a paradox... If I didn't see it with my own eyes I wouldn't think it was even possible!
Thank you again,
JQL

I have an idea....
Its struck me that as I work I'm naming as I go. If i do bulk renaming then i really need all the options of the window, If I'm naming as I go then I don't...
to save opening it each time could the last parameter/settings just be stored and a Shortcut key can be assigned. I just press the shortcut and viola .....
no need to open the window and change the settings
Speed increased
5p more earned
earlier home by three seconds

cThis is really good idea!
I first need to become familiar with storing web-dialog parameters/settings with maybe 'HTML5 Web Storage'. After learning how to do that I will try to integrate you suggestion.
Thanks!
