“Text OPS” is an add-on for Blender that significantly expands the functionality of the Text Editor and makes Blender even cooler :)

Key Features:

File tools:

Tools that facilitate working with multiple text blocks.

• Group Load/Save: Load multiple files with one action. And also save changes in all files with one click.
• Conflict Resolution: Resolve conflicts between external files and Blender text blocks.
• Adding Extensions: Adds the .txt or .py extension to corresponding files.
• Export: Export all text blocks to a specified directory with one click.

Text Operators

A set of functions for quick text formatting.

Multi Search

Perform search and replace in all open Blender text files.

• Allows searching across all open existing text blocks
• Enables replacement both in the current text block and globally across all text blocks
• Displays a count of the number of lines where results were found
• Shows in how many text blocks results were found
• Search result: Text block name + line number + number of occurrences in the line
• Displays search results as an interactive list. Selecting a result will redirect you to the found item, with the relevant text block automatically opened
• If more than one match is found in a line, in addition to displaying the file name and line in square brackets, the number of matches is also shown. Each click on a search result will cycle through the findings.

Extended Clipboard

Create an external named clipboard (a kind of database) for storing backups or creating templates.

• Creation of a named clipboard for saving and inserting any text data within Blender.
• The clipboard is saved to disk as a JSON file, so the data entered into it is stored independently of the blend scene.
• Ability to create multiple purpose-specific data buffers with the option to load them.
• Any data added to the buffer can be assigned a unique identifier.
• Option to add an increment or timestamp to the identifier upon addition.
• Count of the number of words in each saved text block.
• Sorting of saved text blocks by name, with dynamic file updating.
