It would be nice if it did not cost $5+ just to download and try-out. Is it scheme / python / compiled ? Guessing not compiled.

There are alternatives:
A simple renaming script-fu plugin https://script-fu.github.io/artbox/hub/plugins/folder/Rename-Layers/ and https://script-fu.github.io/funky/hub/plug-ins/folder/Rename-Layers/
or
More comprehensive, the Batcher python plugin. https://kamilburda.github.io/batcher/
Comes with documentation on renaming: https://kamilburda.github.io/batcher/docs/renaming/

Ok, zero $$$ now works, takes you to a captcha, but that is the sad state of the internet these days.
Seems to work ok, A bit excessive for my use but all new Gimp plugins (and authors) are more than welcome.
I am sure it will generate interest.
