Object Name Tools
📌 Overview
This plugin offers three lightweight tools for managing object names in Cinema 4D：
Rename Tool: Batch renaming with full control—base name, numbering, find/replace, and hierarchical name transfer.
Trim Long Names: Automatically trims object names to a maximum length and appends ellipsis ("...").
Fix Empty Names: Detects and replaces empty object names with default type names (e.g., "Null", "Cube").
The plugin fully supports automatic language switching (English/Chinese) based on Cinema 4D’s interface language.
