Macro_AFnewRenamer.mcr 1.1.0 for 3dsmax (3dsmax script)

I've just started learning Max & MAXscript and this is the first script I created, mostly as a practice exercise, but also because I thought the Rename Object tool in Max could use an upgrade.

You'll notice a different organization as well as a different philosophy about the UI.  The version native to Max uses checkboxes to give you an all-at-once feeling that isn't the most intuitive way go about it.  I chose to break the checkboxes into their own, discreet actions, since users will most likely be using only one or two of the options at a given time and probably only want to think about those options they want and not about those they won't use.

I turned the script into a macroScript that is intended to replace the original Rename Objects macroScript.  Following the installation instructions below should get you started. 

I've only been at MAXscript for 4 days, so feel free to give me feedback on functionality, usability and, of course, bugs.

Thanks,

Alec

Installation:
(below, replace 3DS Max 2008″ with whatever version you have, although Ive only tested it in 2008)
1) Rename C:/Program Files/Autodesk/3DS Max 2008/ui/macroscripts/Macro_RenameObjects.mcr to Macro_RenameObjects.bak
2) Copy Macro_AFnewRenamer.mcr to C:/Program Files/Autodesk/3DS Max 2008/ui/macroscripts/
3) Relaunch Max. After installation, the next time you select Tools|Rename Objects youll get the new and, I hope everybody will think, improved object renaming tool.
