Rename Swatches 1.0

Rename Swatches 1.0

Regex-Enabled Batch Swatch Renaming Tool

Rename Swatches is a powerful script that automates the tedious process of renaming multiple swatches using text or advanced JavaScript regular expression patterns. Instead of manually renaming swatches one by one, users can process entire swatch libraries in seconds with sophisticated pattern matching and replacement capabilities.

The script features a user-friendly interface allowing multiple sequential find/replace operations, case transformation options (uppercase, lowercase, or none), and intelligent preset management for saving frequently used renaming patterns. Users can preview all changes before applying them, ensuring accuracy and preventing mistakes. The tool automatically handles duplicate name conflicts by adding numerical suffixes and intelligently skips protected system swatches like None, Paper, and Registration.

Professional workflow features include comprehensive logging with detailed desktop reports of all successful and failed operations, full undo integration, and robust error handling.
