Looking to hire someone to create a SketchUp plugin

Note:
SketchUp (therefore, Ruby API either) does not keep track about the changes of the scenes or its properties. Therefore the text replacement what this snippet do, cannot be undone. (Ctrl+z, Alt+Backspace, undo button wont work.)
However using the opposite find-replace string pair can be appropriate.
I told you! Don’t be lazy to make a backup(s)!

Copy paste the code below to Ruby console and hit Enter. You will have a menu in Extension>“Find-Replace in Scene names”

Enter what you want to Find and Replace to into the popup.
All occurrences of the “Find:” string will be replaced to a “Replace to:” string in all scene names.

Does not really tested…
No warranties! Use at your own risk!

module Dezmo::FindReplaceinPageNames
  extend self
  
  def run
    prompt = ["Find:", "Replace to:"]
    defaults = ["", "" ]
    input = UI.inputbox(prompt, defaults, "Find&Replace in Scene names")
    return unless input
    rename_pages(*input)
  end
  
  def rename_pages(find, replace)
    model = Sketchup.active_model
    pages =  model.pages
    model.start_operation("Find&Replace in Scene names", true)

    pages.each do |page|
      page.name = page.name.gsub(find, replace)
    end

    model.commit_operation
  end
  
  unless defined?(@ui_loaded)
    UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("Find-Replace in Scene names") { run }
    @ui_loaded = true
  end
  
end

find-replace-scene

You can also install it with Extension Manager, if it works…and you like it.
