Up Bulk Rename

When renaming assets with Perforce source control enabled, you may encounter two issues that can slow down your workflow.

The Slow Issues

Renaming assets with Perforce takes a while to check out assets. Especially when you rename multiple assets simultaneously, it could FREEZE the whole editor for quite a long time.

The Loss of Asset History Issue

When renaming assets with Perforce, the background operation is not a simple p4 move old_asset new_asset. Instead, it creates a redirector and then adds a new asset with the updated name. If you simply fix up the redirectors without taking care of the asset history, you'll lose the history for your previous edits.

This tool aims to solve these two issues when renaming assets with Perforce source control enabled.

The following steps happened when rename asset with perforce fix enabled:

1. Disable Perforce source control
2. Mark assets as editable: Run p4 edit in the background for all related assets (including references and dependencies) to mark them as editable.
3. Rename assets in Unreal Engine: Rename assets using the Unreal Editor, which handles dependency issues automatically.
4. Change back original name outside of Unreal Engine.
5. Run p4 move old_asset new_asset
6. Re-enable Perforce source control
