Hi All,
I am after a script that I am hoping someone has done or similar before.
I feel a folder action script woudl be the easiest.

We have a load of old CW3, Office, FMP etc, etc files that we need to
amend the filenames on so our PC brethren can look at them. I know you can
use an AppleScript to do this. I would like either....

A series of applescipts that will add (for instance) .cwk to ClarisWorks
files when you drop them into a folder called say add CWK to ClarisWorks
Documents, etc, etc...

or...

A single script that will interrogate the file, find out it's creator and
from a set of variables I have inputted in, eg if creator = ClarisWorks,
then add .cwk, if creator = MS Word, then add .doc, etc, etc. Add the
appropriate file name suffix to the file. Thankfully this is mainly for
the ICT dept, and we generally use as small a filename as possible.

Any suggestions, applets, 3rd party apps, that can do this will be
gratefully appreciated.

Regards
