Hello,
Can someone help me. please? I am writing a script which moves just the
files (in a list in batch) I want to from one folder to another. That part
goes right. But now I want to change the filename if that filename already
exists in the other folder. The user sends the file to Folder A, applescript
moves the file from Folder A to Folder B. For example;
In folder A I have
test1.ps (is deleted after moving it to folder B)
In folder B I have
test1.ps
If the user sends another file named test1.ps I want Applescript to rename
it automatically to test1_1.ps. Because of my workflow I create the
following situation:
In folder A I have
In folder B I have
test1.ps
test1_1.ps
That part I still can handle. But if the user sends another file named
test1.ps I get an message; filename already excists. Overwrite file
(Yes/No). I don't want the message I want the file to rename automatically
if the system notices that a file with the same name allready excists. For
example;
test1_1.ps, test1_2.ps, test1_3.ps, et cetera.
