Description

AutoPrefixer: Unreal Engine Asset Naming & Organization

AutoPrefixer is a C++ Editor Utility that standardizes asset names across your project. It is designed to save time by identifying asset classes and applying the correct prefixes automatically.

Links & Support

Main Features

Content Browser Integration The tool hooks directly into the Unreal context menu. You can select a group of assets, right-click, and run the AutoPrefix command to rename them all at once.

Automatic Prefix Cleaning AutoPrefixer identifies and removes old or malformed prefixes (like sm_, mesh_, or t_) before applying the new convention. This is especially useful when cleaning up marketplace packs or outsourced assets.

Flexible Organization Includes a Dashboard Widget for bulk management. It has an optional "Auto-Organization" setting (in Project Settings) that can move renamed assets into specific subfolders like /Meshes or /Textures.

Focused on Performance The tool uses the Asset Registry to scan for metadata without forcing every asset to load into memory. This prevents the editor from hanging or crashing when you process large folders.
