It renames with auto increment, Layer ➤ Multi-Layer Tools ➤ Edit Multiple Layers Attributes... It renames layers and the groups' names but NOT inside a group

If it can help

Ohh .scm, I love being able to install scripts without having to restart Gimp later. 

I really enjoyed this script!
While it doesn't fulfill all my dreams (see post #1), it's a versatile tool.

It considers the groups as a single layer, so if there are 2 layers, a group with 10 inner layers and another 5 layers (in that order from bottom to top) it will work as if there were 8 layers (2+1+5).

It allows layers to be linked after being renamed.
This makes it easier to group the layers again after renaming.

How I proceeded in my initial test:
1- I ungrouped the layers of a certain group;
2- Knowing in which interval the ungrouped layers were, I provided these indices to the script (Start at which layer? / End at which layer?);
3- I checked the option to link the layers;
4- After renaming, I used another filter to group the linked layers. (restoring the initial status quo)

A small discomfort in using this script is in terms of counting the layers so that we can give the script the correct instruction on from what point to what point to rename the desired layers.

But at the moment, among the options I had, it proved to be the best option.

PixLab, thanks for the help!
