Over the last couple of months during production, I have been making tools to help speed up the workflow, some of these include Empty - Selected Vertex, Create Collection with Object name, and a whole bunch of other quality of life improvements.
As of today, I have bundled them in a neat little package.

Thanks for the great update! I am really enjoying the add-on and I quite liked the System > Low Fi option. haha.
I have a request for a future addition. Could you create a feature that if you apply transforms on an object that has a negative scale (mirrored) it will flip the objects normals as well? That would be incredibly helpful!
Thanks again for the great add-on!
thanks for the support
I think I can implement that request, I don’t see why not… maybe a little bit of trickery is required but it’s not out of the realms of impossible, I get what you mean but if you can explain step-by-step I can replicate it.
cheers
Great! I really appreciate taking a look at this. Here’s a quick video showing the process:
so the steps in my head are …
select active object, check if the scale sits on the -
Apply _Scale
Flip Normals
Edit how are you flipping normals in object mode, do you have an addon for that ? I thought it was edit command- what’s the pie menu for ?
Apply Transformation and Flip Normals - test
I might need to expand on it and make a few additional tools, for example, what if you have poly selected in edit mode, means I would need to select all the mesh
more than one object, autocheck negative scale , auto mirror - I have a few ideas.
Will search each object with a -negative scale, select them , apply transform the flip normals…
Absolutely awesome! Thank you very much for adding this in so quickly!

Thanks for the awesome update!
There was one tweak I was wondering if possible. Could you make the Mesh to Object / Object to Mesh utility work on multiple objects? I had tons of extracted parts that I had to cycle through one by one. haha.
Thanks!
I’ll take a look mate.
so I made it work on multiple objects, and it works but you also need to be careful because if you have spare data like a cube deleted from the scene, it will approach it and rename it cube.001, I think what I am trying to say is you need to approach it with caution.
Would it be possible to add a feature that would allow you to search/replace file extensions in Blender? I had to convert the textures a project from .tga to .png to reduce file sizes. Luckily I came across this script, but I figured it might be a nice addition to the tool.
import bpy
for img in bpy.data.images:
img.filepath = img.filepath.replace('.tga', '.png')
img.reload()
