Limitations of Blender’s Default Renaming Tools:

• Requires two separate tools: F2 only renames the active selection, while batch renaming requires a separate tool.

• The batch rename tool doesn’t follow selection order, making custom naming sequences difficult.

• Hidden objects in the outliner can’t be renamed, limiting flexibility.

• Data names aren’t renamed together with object names, causing inconsistencies.

• Renaming functions are scattered across different menus, requiring extra steps to find the right tools.
