Thank you, sounds useful :-)

Do be careful with this - it can cause real pain in cases like:
* Two LM324 quad op amp chips in the schematic
* One powered from +-5V rails, the other from +-12V
Great care needs to be taken when swapping slots in this situation
Good point. However you only need to correct the groups once as the tool respects existing groups. Point of clarification: The tool only changes the refdes attribute not the slot attribute. You have to specify the slot attribute and then refdes_renum_slots creates the groups using equal refdes values.
