How do I rename multiple selected layers in Photoshop CC?

Question

I was searching this for a while, but didn't find a proper answer. Does anybody know how to rename multiple selected layers at the same time? Any help will be appreciated. Thanx!

Answer 1

There is no native feature for renaming multiple layers, at least yet.

You can however start renaming a layer and use TAB to move to rename the next layer or Shift+TAB to rename the previous layer. This can be handy for smaller amount of layer renaming.

Pro tip regarding, I would guess all of these exentions and scripts:

In the bottom of Group Layer Renaming script website Matthew Rose mentions how you should use cmd (in mac) or ctrl (in windows) to select multiple groups instead of using Shift.

If you don't, you'll accidentally rename layers within the groups. This happens due to the way photoshop selects multiple layers when you hold down shift Shift.

You can however get around it.

1. Use Shift to select multiple groups
2. Then hold cmd (in mac) or ctrl (in windows) and click one of the arrows on the left side of those groups. This expands every selected groups.
   • At this point you can see that all the layers in between the groups are selected.
3. Click again ( while still holding cmd ). This closes the selected groups.
   • At this point, if you click again you can see that only the first level of selected groups are selected.
4. Now you're ready to rename just the first level of groups you've selected.

_{At step #2, you can actually double click the first selected groups arrow and jump to step #4.}

List of extensions and scripts:

Renamy

• Costs ~$10
• Remembers layer names you've used and uses autocomplete when you start writing a new name.
• You can place the panel on top of your layers panel, for example. That gives it easy access. The only feature I feel like it's lacking is that you can't use a hotkey to focus in the input field. I would recommend using the last script listed in this post, if you want to use a hotkey.
• You can rename with consecutive numbers using: Layer %NN or Layer %nn to reverse the order.
• You can add and remove extensions and use regex.

Adobe Layer Namer

• Free
• Meant to be used in tandem with the Assets Generator in Photoshop CC, but at can potentially work with other export scripts and extensions.
• Only adds suffix with the extension and variables, which are mostly compatible with Assets Generator only. So if you need to randomly rename all layers "Mah Layers", this can't do that.

Layrs Control

• Free
• Layer name editor button basically just launches the below script.
• Contains more than one script

Layer Name Editor script

• Free
• The extension listed above uses this script.
• You can set a hotkey so launch the scrip, which is very handy. The extension above doesn't have that feature.

Incase the link doesn't work, the script code can be found at the end of this post.

Group Layer Renaming script

• Free
• You can rename with consecutive numbers using: Item #%n
• You can set a hotkey so launch the script, which is very handy.

Incase the link doesn't work, the script code can be found at the end of this post.

Answer 3

An ActionScript snippet that will do what you want on the sublayers of your currently selected group layer. Simply iterates over each layer in the group, and replaces text in the sublayer's name. I ran my script in the ExtendScript Toolkit.

for (var    i = 0 ;
            i < app.activeDocument.activeLayer.layers.length ;
            i++)
{
    var LAYER       = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.layers[i];
    var VISIBLE     = LAYER.visible;
       // replace 'abc' with 'def'
    LAYER.name      = LAYER.name.replace("abc","def");
    LAYER.visible   = VISIBLE
}
