Getting folder name from selected folder

Hi and thanks in advance,

I have to constantly move a subfolder with a static name of image files from a parent folder with a job specific title.

I have a workflow consisting of the following steps:

Get Selected Finder Items

Move Finder Items (static location)

Get Folder Contents

Filter Finder Items (for Static subfolder)

Copy Finder Items (to a Dropbox folder)

Rename Finder Items: Name Single Item

New Mail Message (with a pause)

This works without any problems but I want to automate the rename. I have tried inserting Get Value of Variable with the Variable set to Folder Name but end up with a Path.

Is there a simple way to get the folder name? I have tried to use a script using keyboard commands (enter/Select All/Copy) but end up with the folder and not the text.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Terry Wedd
