Hierarchical Batch Rename

Rename multiple files at once inside the editor window with hierarchical safety rules. That way you can use find/replace and multi-cursor.

How To Use:

  • Select files in the explorer sidebar
  • Right click one of the files and click "Hierarchical Batch Rename"
  • Edit the file names in the editor
  • Hit Save to confirm

Validation Rules

  • No overwrites or swaps; rename targets must not already exist.
  • No cycles; children are renamed before parents.
  • No renames into folders that are being renamed (unless inside that folder).
  • Destination parent must be a directory (existing or newly created).
  • Paths must stay inside the workspace base directory.
