Rename Multiple Marker/Regions at once

[hscottaudio]

Requesting a way to rename multiple regions/markers at once.

Marker Region Manager -> Select multiple Regions/Markers -> Right Click -> Rename-> Name is applied to all selected Regions/Markers.

Would massively help in some situations, currently, workaround involves editing in excel. I'm currently using Reaper to embed 1000s of Markers and Regions into Wav metadata.

An easier workaround might be using a dummy track, creating items from your existing regions, using the various item renaming actions to get the names, and finally creating regions from those items. This will require SWS extensions.

Rename markers and regions within time selection.lua

function main()
  local time_sel_start, time_sel_end = reaper.GetSet_LoopTimeRange2(0, false, false, 0, 0, false)
  if time_sel_start == time_sel_end then return end
  local retval, retvals_csv = reaper.GetUserInputs("Rename markers/regions", 1, "Rename markers/regions", "")
  if not retval or retvals_csv == "" then return end
  local new_name = retvals_csv
  local i=0
  while true do
    local ret, isrgn, pos, rgnend, name, markrgnindexnumber = reaper.EnumProjectMarkers(i)
    if ret == 0 then
      break
    end
    if pos >= time_sel_start then
      if isrgn and rgnend <= time_sel_end or not isrgn and pos <= time_sel_end then
        reaper.SetProjectMarkerByIndex(0, i, isrgn, pos, rgnend, markrgnindexnumber, new_name, 0)
      end
    end
    i = i + 1
  end
  reaper.Undo_OnStateChangeEx("Rename markers and regions", -1, -1)
end

reaper.defer(main)

I also propose advanced renamers for regions and markers, if you want to have counters, scales, variables etc...
