Function: Renames the selected files (or files in the selected folders) based on the user-set preferences.
Author: Automator World
Notes: It works best as a Contextual Menu Plug-in; copy into ~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder/. It also works well as an Application for drag-and-drop use.
Gorgeous lil App. Fair enough, give anyone an hour and they could make it themselfs, but why bother when we have automator world! If you wanted you could make it a folder action (i think) and make a folder add the date/time to anything put into it. Same as having an App to drag n drop into, except you can put this in your sidebar.Nice lil app though

Taiski -
OMG…did you figure out how to do this?? This would be such a help for our photography assistant. We photograph multiple products for catalogs and we need to save each jpg with the name of the product sku in the title so then the designers know what product is which.
Problem is…we shoot multiple photos of each sku and the time it takes our photo assistant to go back and rename all these is ridiculous. She names the folder with the SKU but then drops all the individual photos in there (named Untitled001, Untitled002, etc)…so if Automator could rename the individual jpgs with the folder’s name and leave the stuff after the underscore, that’d save her hours!
Thanks!!!

PLZ show me a way to rename the file by exchanging last part of the text with the front part..i.e. “X&Y - Coldplay.jpg” to “Coldplay - X&Y.jpg”

sorry, my error, i meant:
Can anyone point me to a workflow that will append the name of the folder the file resides on to every file in that folder? (and do it for every folder inside a chosen directory)?
this is exactly what i’ trying to do/find!
