Re: etRenamer 3.0, now with PyQt version
Small update here. I fixed it so now if you don't have PyQt modules available the PPG based etRenamer is still available. I re-arranged the python modules as well. https://github.com/downloads/EricTRocks/ET_Tools/ET_Naming_3.10.zip Eric Thivierge http://www.ethivierge.com

RE: etRenamer 3.0, now with PyQt version
I wrote a regular expression renamer for XSI 1.0 all those years ago. After offline conversation Olivier Ozoux followed suit and supplied his own renamer as part of Netview in XSI 1.5, but with the deprecation of the old Netview library it disappeared like so many other tools. I've since revamped mine to do things like preview results, detect name mangling, validate output, and so on. From that experience I can say there aren't many assumptions a tool can reliably make to ensure renaming goes as expected and without side effects. There are things which can legally be renamed, but doing so will destroy relationships elsewhere. For example, renaming a cluster or a texture projection's _Def property will break references in PPG widgets that specify which texture projection to use for shading purposes. Unless the renamer understands all the dependencies, the user can create problems very easily. That would be support headache for Softimage.

Re: etRenamer 3.0, now with PyQt version
Yeah I feel the same but thought I should offer the PyQt to those who have it or can install it. I did know that if I didn't have the PPG based one I'd hear about it too. :) I have the same one working Maya as well and like I said in the video wih a few sub-classes and few lines of code you can get it working in whatever other application you want to. You could even use the renamer class for file renaming in another pipeline tool if you wanted as well. Having the same tools across the studio in all apps is something that is being pushed here lately as well. A native PyQt / PySide implementation is a must IMO.

just the language of the devil... not the devil itself. i actually feel like god when i get a regex just right. On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 5:55 PM, Eric Thivierge ethivie...@gmail.comwrote: Regex is the devil.
Re: etRenamer 3.0, now with PyQt version
Yeah its awesome when it works but its the most screwed up syntax ever. Nothing is intuitive with it. I always have to hack it for a while before getting what I need. Just frustrating while tinkering.

@Eric That's pretty much how I feel about regex too. Also, your renamer is looking better than ever. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome. These will definitely come in handy. Thanks.
RE: etRenamer 3.0, now with PyQt version
For the most part you can only use a small subset of regular expressions inside of Softimage because it limits object/property names to letters, numbers, and underscores. I'd be curious to know what people are trying to do with Regular expressions inside of Softimage and why they're having such difficulty?

regular expressions are clearly a must have ... you clearly see their power when switching to linux. because when you have a dude who called you to his desk to say Hey that cmd gives me an error like what the *bip* has no subscriptions to the *bip* but in the *bip* it turns out it has ... well, you don't have the time to go back at your desk, launch your favourite python editor (OR sublime-text) and write a beautiful python tool to parse the output from one custom cmd to use it as input for another one, repeated 10 times and handling special cases, but you clearly have the time to open a shell and use your best buddies: Pipe, Sed, Awk and XArgs, to finally ending with a freaking 10 lines long command. and voilà ... the *bip* has now the right subscriptions to the *bip*...! =) *bip*: f**king NDA ... **: fucking decency... -- jo 2012/10/16 Alok Gandhi alok.gandhi2...@gmail.com We use regex in some pipeline tools for softimage but that is all coming from python 're' module.
