Change layer names so lowercase

[pradyumanr]

Hey guys,

posting for the first time and i dont know any sort of scripting so would be helpful if anyone can help.

I want to change each and every layer names to complete lower case. Eg : Picture_Large.png >> picture_large.png

There around 1000 layers so i hope you understand the difficulty to change it manually. I found a script but it changes it to uppercase and only changes groups and not all layers. Here

Plz help

var layerLength = app.activeDocument.layers.length;
var docRef  = app.activeDocument;
for(i = 0; i < layerLength; i++){
   docRef.activeLayer = docRef.layers
   var myName = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name;
    var newName = myName.toLowerCase();
    docRef.activeLayer.name = newName;
 }

ok so i ran your script and this what happened:

1. Only the artboard case changed to lowercase

2. All other unselected or hidden layers were affected.

3. Didnt changed the layers that were nested inside the groups.
