Suggestion: Rename vertex groups

[InterruptingOctopus]

i know that it is somewhat possible since i've copy pasted rudimentary scripts to do so but it would be much handier to do so through a UI like this addon's

Could you reference the script you downloaded? It could make my life easier trying to implement this functionality.

sorry for not getting back to you, i was locked out of my account for a while due to needing to move my 2fac to my new phone.
basically what i did to rename bones was a code somewhat similar to this:

import bpy
obj = bpy.context.active_object
prefixes = ["ORG-", "DEF-", "h_", "x_"]

bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='OBJECT',toggle=True)
for obj in bpy.context.selected_objects:
    for g in obj.vertex_groups:
        for prefix in prefixes:
            if g.name.startswith(prefix):
                g.name = g.name[4:]

which was to remove prefixes as defined in the array named as such.

there was also this code for adding a prefix as well.

import bpy

obj =  bpy.context.active_object

for obj in bpy.context.selected_objects:
    for g in obj.vertex_groups:
        g.name = 'DEF-' + g.name
