Photoshop script to rename and export layers with just one click.
For certain projects you could need a Photoshop script to rename layers and export them as PNG, for example: videogame creators who needs items in Photoshop. It may also work for photographers who has hundred of photos.
1.- You create this structure.
2.- Just 1 click and get all layers renamed.
3.- Additionally you can export to files.
I created a Photoshop script to rename multiple layers based on the structure of the PSD file. It uses folder’s names as prefixes, this way you can rename hundreds of layers in Photoshop with just one click. Additionally you can export multiple layers to files while keeping the names.
How do I run the Photoshop script to rename and export layers?
Usage is quite straight forward, just need to open Photoshop, load the script and click ok. Backup your files before 😉
“File > Scripts > Browse… locate the script and click OK”
If you have any problem, suggestion or complain, feel free to comment.

Posted at 10:01h, 25 AprilHello,
I got your avatar system (very nice – well done).
When I try to batch rename in photoshop, it cries : The command “Delete” is not currently available.
Do you know what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks,
Rada

Posted at 10:30h, 25 AprilThanks a lot Rada, the script delete the folders, that you used to add prefixes, once he is done renaming, I’m guessing this is the problem.
Which Photoshop version are you using? Did you use folders to create the prefixes?
Email me better to [email protected] so I can replicate the problem and offer you an alternative.
Cheers.

Posted at 14:56h, 04 FebruaryHy,
i have a question regarding the way it is named. is there a possibility that only groups would be added up in the naming process? so only HAIR-MAN-STYLE without ABC if i use your example in the pictures above.
thank you
