Yes. It should a straight forward script there's little that can go wrong. Credit to the OP. I just made that edit for Corona.

okay , what he wants is...

actually what i want too...
is

the script to rename all bitmaps renamed to "scene name"+ extension.
i.e.
pine_tree.max has some mesh and two textures.
leaf.bmp
leaf2.bmp

he wants a script to do some actions so the result will become:

pine_tree.max
pine_tree.bmp
pine_tree2.bmp.

and materials target the new bitmap names...so they wont report as missing.

rename w/o relink, right?

I re-read 2-3 times the original question: "I want to rename the textures, and the link of texture should be keep!" and looks like all replies below are about Relinking texture #FileNames.
--Here is 2 staffs:

<TextureMap>.name
assignNewName <TextureMap>

And as you say "the texture name is not correct", then give more details about.

To see bitmap names, press the "Get.." Button. To edit them, enabled the checkbox. You can then select single bitmap filepaths in the list and change them on top. The changes will be accepted when you leave the edit field with your mouse.
You can also do a search and replace on all paths, e.t. to change "C:\" to "D:\"
or "silly.jpg" to "dummy.tif"
This is case insensitive, which might not be so good.
Be careful with it, better save to a new scene first before you accidently kill any paths.
Cheers
