Ability to rename scripts and expressions
Unless I'm missing something (quite possible), scripts and expressions can't be renamed in the editor. This would be a very welcome addition.

Agreed, this is pretty annoying.

This, plus automatically update references to the changes throughout the project. Kind of like a global find/replace.

Agreed this would be awesome but I've been fooling a bit with the raw jzml files latley (its basically an xml), and I have to say that request is easier said than done...
say we've got an expression, fade=1
then we've got an expression, fadeOut=4
and we want to rename fade to fooBar...
some hefty regex work (hefty for me atleast becuase I hate/am terrible with regex) has to be done to prevent fadeOut from becoming fooBarOut...

It's actually not too bad, you just have to make sure the next character after your search string is a non-word character. I had to do a bunch of regex for a project so I learned a lot more than I ever wanted toTraxus wrote: say we've got an expression, fade=1

I do this with the Lemur XML-files in Notepad++, in this case it's a simple search/replace with the "only whole word" option checked. I agree there may be cases where a search item is not unique, if this is the case the automic reference update could simply exit or provide a dialog to choose a unique item.Traxus wrote:\dBlicious wrote:This, plus automatically update references to the changes throughout the project.

Most of the modern development editors do have that kind of refactoring feature, it's a great time saver.

+1 on the ability to rename scripts and expressions ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
It's quite annoying to copy the whole code, paste it into a new script and delete the old one if you want to rename, or is there maybe another way?
