# VER: 2023-11-06
#
# Takes a selection of libraries, folders, reels or sequences and renames
# all sequences found, removing 'Exported.01' crap from the end.
# For every sequence found, it also renames all clips on the sequence stripping
# off 'sync.01' and 'new.01' from the clip names.
#
# Note that when a library, folder or reel is selected, it only looks for
# sequences at the root level of the selected container.
