Thank You Very Much to:
Mr Ed Stockly, Mr Luther Fuller and Mr Axel Luttgens for all of your insight and help with my question about "ReNaming Files When Duplicating" them.
I got it to work. Again Thank You.
Of course, No good deed goes unpunished!
Although, It works as requested with one tiny little problem:
Is there a limit to the number of characters that can be used in naming a file via AppleScript?
Changing the name of a file, on my Mac, by just editing it lets me use lots of characters.
I would think probably 255 but have not tested that.
Changing the name using AppleScript appears to limit me to 34
total characters.
Is this accurate or where do I look to fix this.
I want to name the files using their (path as text) for temporary processing.
Then I will rename them back to their original names later.
Thanks
Oakley
