MR Name
Hello, I have written a new script called MR Name for renaming bones and layers.
There is no video tutorial yet, but there is a video demonstration.
The script allows you to create up to 200 slots where you can assign any text to use them for creating names.
To assign a name, you need to hold down Alt and click on the slot button.
You can create presets with slots, export them to a file, and import from files. You can sort and change the order of slots.
There is also a search and replace function for text and the ability to delete characters at the beginning or end of a line.

Re: MR Name
Thank you, I see that you also had a similar idea. I also don't like typing text for the names of bones and layers from the keyboard.
Re: MR Name
Nice tool
But it does not work for me. I double click on the slot just like what you did in the video, but there is not popup panel for me to enter the name. I am still on MH14.1.

Re: MR Name
Hi, to enter text you need to hold down Alt and click on the slot button, rather than using double-click.
Re: MR Name
Awesome script!you might want to consider adding multi-selection support for renaming bones and layers This could make the process even faster Also, expanding the sorting feature to group names by a set scheme would be really helpful.
Sometimes after exporting files with presets, there could be text formatting issues – double-check if something goes wrong.If needed, take a look at mohoscripting.com

Re: MR Name
Hi, the script already has support for multi-selection for bones and layers.
Currently, two sorting modes are available: considering all characters or letters only. These modes depend on whether you pressed the sorting button with Alt or without.
Can you send me the file with your preset that has issues and a screenshot of how it should look in the panel?
Re: MR Name
MR Name sounds very useful, especially when repurposing a rig. I recently had to rename many layers in multiple Switch Layers, and I think I could have used this tool for that.
Downloading now and will check it out later today.
Thanks for sharing, KuzKuz!

Re: MR Name
Thank you for the support!
Re: MR Name
Version 1.7. Since the name of an image layer cannot be empty, I replaced the "Clear name" button with a "Start new name" checkbox.
When you need to clear the name, you activate this option, and when you press any button with text, the text will not be added to the current name but will completely replace it.
After that, the "Start new name" checkbox will automatically deactivate, and you can continue adding text to the name.

Re: MR Name
Version 1.7.1 You can now click on the "Start new name" option while holding ALT to keep it enabled until you manually turn it off.

Re: MR Name
Omigosh! Eugene, this looks fantastic! As you mentioned in the video, the naming bones and layers is a necessary but very timeconsuming task. MR Name appears to solve this problem brilliantly!
I don't know how I missed this tool before. Downloading now, and I can't wait to start using it!

Re: MR Name
Ha ha...silly me! I just noticed I commented back in October, but I've been so busy with the channel that I must have forgotten about it.
Sigh...they say the mind is the first thing to go. Anyway, I'll be using MR Name...this time, for sure!
