Batch GameObject renaming tool for Unity

Silly that Unity doesn't support this. Uses the name of the first GO selected (the one in the inspector) to rename the rest of them. This is actually a great template for all sorts of batch editor commands in Unity.

Here it is in pastebin. 

.
 

@MenuItem ("Maquette/Batch Rename")
static function BatchRename() 
	{ // Renames all selected items in the Hierarchy to the first item selected, with numbers.
	var iname : String;
	ispacer = "0"; 
    icount = 0; 
	iname = Selection.activeGameObject.name;   // The item in the inspector
	
	istuff = Selection.gameObjects.length;  // if I wanted this to support renaming of > 99 objects correctly, I'd use this. 
	
	for (igo in Selection.gameObjects)
		{
		icount ++; 
		if (icount > 9) ispacer = ""; 
		igo.name =iname + "-" + ispacer + icount; 
		}
	}
