when I run the “uv maps rename” script from the accepted answer of your stackexchange link it just works without errors in my Blender 2.80 (from last Friday’s buildbot, after RC2). Doesn’t it work for you? Are you getting any errors when you run it? Which Blender build are you using?
Regarding addons, they all have to be updated for Blender 2.80, because Blender’s addon API changed in some places. The API got stable only recently, so it might be a while until all addons are updated, it depends on the developer.
If you want to try yourself, here are two useful threads:
Drop to ground 2.8 worked very well. I am glad for your help!
I have been using Blender 2.8 the last couple of days with a very heavy scene with linked objects and all and it is working very well, so I am leaving 2.79 and is nice to have these scripts again!
Need Help!
The ‘select similar 2.8’ version not working fine when two or more collections inside the Scene Collection.
To reproduce this error:
You have ‘Scene Collection’ and inside of it ‘Collection’, ‘Collection 2’
Now just put some cubes and spheres in both collections and you are done.
The script become inconsistent, some times it Works with no erros, some time Works with erros and sometimes do not work at all.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<blender_console>”, line 3, in
RuntimeError: Error: Object ‘Sphere’ can’t be selected because it is not in View Layer ‘View Layer’!
How to make this script to look only on enabled collections/not hidden objects?
I did a google search “blender bpy.context” and found that replacing “bpy.context.scene” for “bpy.context.collection” it solved this issue. Well, almost…
After another round of trial and error I got it working:
“bpy.context.view_layer.objects” works!
