I'm now getting into linking and appending,and it can be quite powerful.

everytime you add a new object or instance,though , the objects get renamed with incremental suffix numbers .
Which can become quite a nuisance the more you add.


Wouldn't it be more logical to be apply a prefix? lets say you have a whole lot of spiders

normal system would make this

chicken.001
Armature.001
Leg_1.001
leg_1.002
leg_1.003
leg_2.001
Etc...

The current system would go on to make increments to already incremented numbers,making it really unreadable.
If when appending you could just add a prefix this would solve a lot.

A_chicken.001
A_Armature.001
A_leg_1.001
A_leg_1.002
etc...


"A" could be anything you input to facilitate readability for your scene.


Also more renaming tools to add prefixes or suffixes to series of objects would be great as well.
