Media 1 for listing Smart Rename Tool

Description

Right-click selected assets in the Content Browser and instantly apply standard, class-based naming prefixes (SM_, T_, M_, BP_, EUW_, BPFL_, and 70+ more) -- no dialogs, no separate tool window.

Features

  • Dry-Run Audit before anything is renamed -- full itemized preview, saved to disk as a permanent log

  • 70+ built-in class-to-prefix mappings, fully editable via naming_convention.json

  • Assets already correctly prefixed are skipped automatically

  • Collision-safe renaming (adds 01, 02... on name clashes)

  • Real batch undo ("Undo Last Rename Batch") since asset renames aren't tracked by Ctrl+Z

  • Batch-renames Level Actor labels in the World Outliner too

  • Optional regex or plain-text search-and-replace rules for bulk migrations

  • Optional PascalCase / camelCase / snake_case casing enforcement

  • Automatic ghost redirector cleanup after every rename

  • Refuses to touch anything outside your project's /Game/ content

  • Requires the Python Editor Script Plugin and Editor Scripting Utilities engine plugins -- both are enabled automatically when you install this plugin, no manual setup needed

How to use

  1. Copy the SmartRenameTool folder into your project's Plugins/ directory, restart the editor, and confirm it's enabled in Edit > Plugins

  2. Select one or more assets in the Content Browser

  3. Right-click the selection and choose "Smart Rename: Add Prefixes..."

  4. Review the Dry-Run Audit summary dialog and the itemized report saved to Saved/SmartRenameTool/

  5. Confirm to apply the rename

  6. If needed, right-click any folder and choose "Smart Rename: Undo Last Rename Batch..." to reverse it

  7. To rename Level Actor labels, select actors in the World Outliner or viewport and choose "Smart Rename: Rename Actors..."

What it changes in your project

  • Nothing is renamed until you confirm the Dry-Run Audit

  • Renames assets in place, applying the class prefix (and any configured search-and-replace or casing rules)

  • Fixes up references created by the rename and removes the resulting ghost redirectors

  • Actor-label renames only change the display label in the World Outliner -- no asset or reference is touched

  • Creates/updates Saved/SmartRenameTool/ (audit reports) and naming_convention.json (your rules config)
