How can I batch rename source files?

0 votes
Hi,

I need to execute batch rename of the source wave files. I can't seem to find such a function, only per file. How can I do that?

Thank you.

Hey Jaka, 

If you want to rename the Audio Sources within Wwise, you can use WAQL. Try this. 

  • Open the List view
  • Type in "$ from type AudioFileSource"
  • Select Batch Rename

If you want to rename the actual file on disk using the File Manager, I don't see any other option than doing it one-by-one.

Yes, I need to batch-rename all audio source files.

Your method doesn't seem to work, it does not rename the source files, just a name for a source file name, it seems.
I cannot rename a whole game by renaming file by file. That's gonna take too long.

Anyway, thanks for your help.
