Hi,
I am new to automator and stumbled into a problem that seems unsolvable. I created a service that receives selected files or folders in Finder. My goal was to select certain types of files in which I want to remove a specific string from the name of each of these files. The first action that I added is Get Folder Contents. I hoped that this action would select all the files in the current folder so that I could filter them in the next step with Filter Finder Items.
When I save the service it is available as an item in the contextual menu. However, when I execute the service it does not seem to get the folder contents.
I tried all kind of variants such as pointing the service to folders or documents instead of files and folders or having all files int the target folder selected beforehand.
What am I doing wrong?
