Test/use my scripts at your own risk. While it is atypical that a REAPER Lua script would damage or harm your hardware/software/data, I will not accept any liability if this were to occur.

Hey everybody!
Script testing.. Do so at your own risk.
This script is designed to assist in the editing and processing of REAPER's items. This script includes a GUI that shows a layout of information regarding your current selection of media items.
In order to perform any of the script-actions--'group,' 'replace,' 'rename,' or 'quantize,'--you must first select items within the GUI list by clicking on them. Items may be unselected at any time by clicking on them again, and you can also select/deselect all items in the GUI list by pressing Ctrl+a while the script GUI has mouse-cursor focus. If you click and hold on a listed item, you can mass select/deselect by dragging mouse cursor either up or down.
NOTE:
In order for the colorize features in this script to operate properly, 'Tint media item background to item color' setting under Appearance>Peaks/Waveforms must be enabled.
FIELD EDITING:
With any number of items selected in your GUI list, right-click while hovering the mouse in the section of the desired value you would like to edit (e.g., track, take name, src. pos., pos., len., group ). All items selected will receive the input of a successful data entry.
The script requires Reaper [5.979], SWS/S&M [2.10.0], and js_ReaScriptAPI [.987].
The script started out as simply me wanting a quick script where I could detect if two items were of the same source, or if they were identical items, on the fly. I've included a handy-dandy toolbar icon with the script as a bonus!

I really like the idea, but I tried to use and load it in one of my projects and ended up with:
Dfk Workflow; Item; Reader.lua:260: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value (local 'q')
Anz idea?

Let me double check the code...
I'll get back to you in a jiffy.
[ADD.] Me thinks I figured it out. Running a test, then I'll post a new.
[ADD.] I think its sorted now, I've updated the file attached to the original post... Please let me know if otherwise?
I wish you Update Item management feature, rename item, Search and replace Item .....
Thank you for this
Rename item is a great idea...Let me work on that.
Do you mind explaining your search-and-replace idea a little further?
I assume you are referring to a text-based search-field to narrow down the Item Reader's display (also a good idea), but how would 'replace' work? I could add a feature where any item that is highlighted by the script could be replaced by an item of your choosing. Would that work?
