Great workflow I have over 7,000 digital pix that I need to name, let alone rename. If you want finder to ask you what to rename the files (plus add a number or whatever you’ve already specified) click the “Show Action when Run” option in the workflow. So what I’m now proposing is to copy the contents locally, renaming, then overwriting the file as I think an action for that already exists.

It’s a copy, and since in windows case doesn’t matter, you need to be able to overwrite automatically.

EXIFRENAMER FOLDER NAME MAC

It has to do with how the mac handles the rename. And it’s not just a permission thing because I can rename the file to a different name. It only happens over a network drive by the way. So, I’m confused, but I hope I helped at least a few people. I figured out that it’s because OS X is trying to do an alias of the filename instead of actually renaming it like Windows would do. When you try a rename that Changes the Case, and you want to do it in-place, then OS X throws an error that the filename already exists. Now the ‘Get Folder Contents’ gets all the contents of the selected root folder. Then the input of the second ‘Get Selected…’ is cut off. That effectively fixes the problem where only the contents of the folder are renamed. It takes whatever is selected, which could be some root folder, and renames it. I select some items in the finder then execute the workflow.

‘Get Selected Finder Items’ > ‘Rename Finder Items’ | ‘Get Selected Finder Items’ > ‘Get Folder Contents’ > ‘Rename Finder Items’ Use this workflow to get the same effect I think you’re trying to achieve: Here’s what I figured out so far if this helps anyone. I think the consensus was that this is either an Automator bug, or should be a preference like “rename subfolders”. (I’m using A Better Finder Rename now, but wanted to see if Automator could handle this for me instead.)Īh yes– I recall discussions on this a while ago, and don’t recall if there was any solution. I want replace all the placeholder names with a real name for every new project. For the record, what I have is a set of predefined folders and documents for a project template with a placeholder name in front of each folder and document. :( I’ve tried different combinations of these actions to try to get this to work, but no luck. When I unchecked ‘Repeat for each subfolder found’ it renamed the folders as well, but only at the top level. If I have ‘Repeat for each subfolder found’ checked, it goes into all the subfolders and renames all the documents, but not the folders. Symm – just add as the first step “Get Selected Finder Items”.

How do I make a workflow that accepts input to replace any text (wildcard) and append a sequential number after the input? That would be cool.Ĭan anybody tell me how to get this to rename folders as well as file names? Not that the CS extensions don’t kick ass… but having photoshop open every file just to rename based on EXIF headers seems a bit like spreading butter on toast with a jackhammer -) I would need filenames with hour-minute-second like this: The CS actions require Photoshop to open and rename each file (slow, and inefficient) and don’t give me enough detail in the filename.

Is this download just for people who don’t even know how to drag actions into a very short list or am I missing something that this can do? I don’t see anything more powerful than the regular automator renaming actions. You can batch rename files based on EXIF.is this what you mean?Īm I missing something here? To me it looks like a two item workflow of actions that automator already has which i could throw together in about 10 seconds.

This would be the killer action if it could read EXIF headers of JPG and RAW files to rename… just like the EXIFRenamer app only easily inserted into workflows. How about an automator workflow for batch changing the created/modified date? Any ideas how can this be accomplished? Thanks! And so simple!įantastic!!! this is the best automator work flow i have used. Awesome! Who needs to buy “Yet Anther Finder Rename” when you got this? It’s all I needed.
