Rename files in multiple subfolders

Hello,
I am looking for a way to do the following:
I have different files in various folders and subfolders that I wish to rename.
So I need automator to search for files in all folders and subfolders of my external drive and find all files ending in .doc.
Then I need each file to be renamed as "report.doc". (there is only one file per subfolder so there is no danger of having two files with the same name.)
Can someone show me how to do that? I found similar posts but it was not what I was looking for. I've even posted a similar question to applescript discussions in case automator doesn't have this possibility.
Thank you very much for your time.

It can get very confusing for people helping when you post the same question in multiple forums. I have already posted some suggestions in your other thread:

This is an old document I have so some may no longer exist or work with Lion, but you can probably find utilities that will do this for you. I use Renamer4Mac from back when it was free.
*Renaming Utilities*
NameChanger [http://www.mrrsoftware.com/MRRSoftware/NameChanger.html]
Renamer4Mac [http://renamer4mac.com/batch-rename-files-on-mac-osx.html] - now shareware but older versions may still be free.
psrenamer [http://www.powersurgepub.com/downloads.html#psrenamer] - Java based (=slightly slow) free utility.
Name Mangler [http://www.manytricks.com/namemangler/] - requires OS 10.5+, but File List [http://www.manytricks.com/download/filelist] is an older version for pre-10.5.

How can I bulk sort by capture time and bulk rename files off multiple cameras?

I have found many renaming utilities, including bridge, but I have not run across any that allows bulk / batch capture time sort and rename?
I can sort by capture time in Lightroom 3, but when I export it puts the files back in original order....maybe I am doing something wrong....that would not surprise me.
I just tried sorting by Capture Time in LR3 and then exporting and renaming.... renamed but not in the capture time sort order....
so I am open to any suggestions... I shoot 2 cameras 99% of the time so I do not need to change lenses.
Thanx in advance.

How can I bulk rename music files in reverse order from artist - song name to songname - artist.
I actually dont need to rename the actual files.
Its just i have a huge txt list of 100,000 music names that are listed as so.
I wonder if we haven't misunderstood what you were asking for. Could it be that you have not a huge file, but just a huge list of names in many small files. If that's the case, you should rather use the following script instead of the previous one.
Since this script does not rename the files, make a backup of your files before running it.
set theFolder to choose folder -- the folder containing your text files
tell application "Finder"
    set theNames to name of files of theFolder whose name extension is "txt"
end tell
set theTextFiles to {}
set theFolderPath to POSIX path of theFolder
repeat with thisName in theNames
    copy theFolderPath & thisName to the end of theTextFiles
end repeat
repeat with thisFile in theTextFiles
    set F1 to open for access thisFile
    set theText to read F1
    close access F1
    set theParagraphs to paragraphs of theText
    set bigList to (a reference to theParagraphs)
    set theNewParagraphs to {}
    set bigNewList to (a reference to theNewParagraphs)
    repeat with X in bigList
        set P to offset of " - " in X
        if P = 0 then
            set Y to X
        else
            set Y to text (P + 3) through -1 of X & " - " & text 1 through (P - 1) of X
        end if
        copy Y & return to the end of bigNewList
    end repeat
    set theNewText to text 1 through -2 of (bigNewList as text)
    set F2 to open for access thisFile with write permission
    set eof F2 to 0
    write theNewText to F2
    close access F2

How can I convert JPG files in multiple subfolders into PDFs with a batch?

So here's the situation. I'm sitting on 400+ files, each in its own individual subfolder which also contains 4-10 other files. Those files I don't care about, only the .jpg file. I want to be able to take all of those .jpg files and convert them into PDFs, saving them in the same original folder. I've tried making an action to do this but it selects all the files in the folder and converts them as well.

Should be, yes... It's one of the options of the batch processes. I believe
it's under the first step, the one where you select which folder/files to
process. There should be a window there to select which file types to
process as well. Untick everything except for JPG and it should work...

How to rename files that appear in multiple .book files?

I have about 50 .fm files, and 4 .book files, each of which includes about 20 of the .fm files.
I want to rename some of the files.
If I open all four .book files at once, and I go to First.book and rename file Q, I want it to be renamed in all the other .book files in which it happens to be included.
How can I do that?
Thanks.

You have to rename the file in each book that it is included in. After the first re-name, the other books will treat the old filename as a missing one.

Need a script to do the following... rename files based on folder name...

Hi. Macophile just starting to tread the waters of Applescript, trying to use Automator but don't think it will do what I need.
I have many images stored with-in folders that I would like to extrapolate a given number of characters from the folder name and Add Text to the files within those given folders.
Basically...
Folder name is C00100_Descriptive
Files within folder are just Descriptive_01, Descriptive_02
Would like to make all files within a given folder take the first 7 characters from the folder and Add that text to all files and files within subfolders of that folder to make the resulting files shown as...
C00100Descriptive01
C00100Descriptive02
Along with this I would also like to incorporate into the script, an added step to create Thumbnail jpegs of the image files in a Subfolder under C00100_Descriptive folder.
I can see how to do that in automator but not specifying parameters such as taking a certain number of characters from the folder the file resides in and adding that selected text to the files.
Ideally I would like a droplet or something that I could take a bunch of folders and drop them on the droplet to perform these actions.
Any advice, help or guidance would be really helpful! Thanks in advance.

Relinking files in many subfolders

Does anyone know how to relink files that are in multiple folders at once?
My scenario.
I was linked to a hard drive that died. But like a good girl I have backed up my indesign files, images and graphics. My problem is that they are in multiple folders with multiple subfolders. So all links come up missing and when I relink I only get the additional 2-3 images that are in that folder. I have 600+ images to relink. Is there anyway for indesign to relink to a parent folder and ask it to relink to all the subfolders included? I can't rename the server to my hard drive name to fool it either.
Thanks for any help on this.

If the folder structure is identical, but the volume name is different, they yes, you can do it. Re-link just one file, and note its name. Now export to .idml (or .inx if using CS3 or lower). Open that file in a text editor and find the links by searching for the name of both the file you fixed and any other file, Note the difference in the paths and use Search and Replace in your text editor. Save, then open that file back into InDesign.
Here I have opened an .inx file in TextEdit and highlighted the path and filename of one of the links.

Deleting & renaming files - is there a shortcut to finder?

I am a recent convert from PC to Mac. So far so good. However, one thing starts to drive me up the wall which is deleting/renaming files in programs such as photoshop, word, excel etc.etc.
As far as I can tell, this is only possible in the finder menu. Is this Correct? I am using a lot of folders and subfolders - sometimes 3-4 levels deep. Every time I need to change/delete a file or filename - lets say while in photoshop, I have to go to finder and click my way through several levels of folders to the actual file I need to change. This is somewhat annoying and timeconsuming.
Question 1: is there a way to do these operations in - lets say photoshop directly?
Question 2: If not, is there a shortcut key that would point me automatically to the file in finder where I can make the changes?
Your input would be very helpful and save me some aggravation.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your input. You are correct as far as "save" and "save as" is concerned. Windows and Mac work the same way.
However, as far as I can tell, in Mac you can only "delete" or "rename" a file in "finder" which forces you to open up finder and locate the file in order to delete or change it.
In windows you can do these 2 functions directly in the program (such as photoshop, excel or words). You do not have to go to "explorer or root directory" to make these changes which I believe would be the equivalent of "finder".
In any case, Terence solved the problem. By command clicking the name (title) of the file in any program, it opens up the directory in "finder". This way makes it easy to select the file and do the changes.

How to open renamed files?

Hi
I rename selected files and after that want to open them.
For my purpose renaming works well like this:
tell application "Finder"
set FilesToRENAME to selection
display dialog "Change what?" default answer ""
set ChangeFROM to text returned of the result
display dialog "Change to?" default answer ""
set ChangeTO to text returned of the result
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {ChangeFROM}
set theCount to count of FilesToRENAME
repeat with x from 1 to theCount
try
set theName to name of item x of FilesToRENAME
set FirstNamePart to first text item of theName
set LastNamePart to second text item of theName
set newName to FirstNamePart & ChangeTO & LastNamePart
set name of item x of FilesToRENAME to newName
on error errStr number theNumber
activate
display dialog "Error in changing the Name " & theNumber & return & errStr ¬
& return & "Step " & x
end try
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
end tell
Now newly renamed files don't belong anymore to FilesToRENAME. So how to point to those files now (how to make a new list from those renamed files)? I was thinking to get a path to each file inside the repeat loop and replace the name, but couldn't do it.
Thank you for any help.

Pierre's method is pretty clever, but if you don't happen to be using a Finder selection (choose file for example), you can also use the interesting fact that an alias keeps track of an item even if it is moved or renamed.

set renamedFiles to {} -- this will be the renamed files
repeat with aFile in filesToRename
set aFile to the contents of aFile
tell application "Finder" to set theName to name of aFile

Renaming files/folders on desktop: weird.

Hi
Since I have OSX Lion, and I want to rename files/folders on my desktop nothing happens.
Or at least not what is suppose to happen. Pressing enter in a finder window works perfect, like always.
But when I hit enter on a file or folder on my desktop it go's blank.
I can't see what i'm doing, but the name will change if I typ a new one. Quit confusing and realy difficult to work with. Any idea's how to fix this?

This has been driving me nuts but I accidentally found the cause...but not the solution. It is a Lion thing as spaces did not have this issue.
I am assuming you are using multiple screens (mission control, formerly spaces). If you go to screen 1 and try to rename the file you CAN see the name as you rename it. If you go to any other screen and try to rename it you get the blank space.
In my case I never rename files on my main screen. I always rename them on which ever screen I am working (word is screen 5, so docx saved to the desktop are renamed on screen 5).

Sedname - Batch rename files using sed

Renaming files using sed is nothing new, but this script makes the process a little more friendly and adds a few features, including insertion of sequential numbers and a simulation mode. The output of any find command can also be piped through sedname.
sedname version 1.0.0
Batch-renames files using a sed script
Usage: sedname [OPTIONS] SEDSCRIPT FILE ...
Usage: find [...] | sedname [OPTIONS] SEDSCRIPT
Example: sedname 's/$.*$\.jpg/\1.jpeg/' *.jpg
Example: find /mypics | sedname 's/$.*$\.jpg/\1.jpeg/'
OPTIONS:
--sim simulate only
--dir rename directories too
Use #D to insert a number with D digits forming a unique filename
Example: sedname 's/thisname.*/thatname#3/' *
( changes thisname* to thatname001, thatname002, ... )
Use #0 in replacement name to insert a number if needed
Example: sedname 's/thisname.*/thatname#0/' *
( changes thisname* to thatname, thatname1, thatname2, ... )

Unable to move or rename files on WebDAV shares

I have not been able to get WebDAV shares to work properly on Lion.
Let's say I have a "User" that has given ownership to a WebDAV folder named "Share". I can connect to my WebDAV share using Finder at "https://website.com/webdav" and I can successfully read files and folders in "Share". I can also delete and create files in "Share". But whenever I try to move or rename a file or folder I get a dialog with error code -43, complaining the "item required cannot be found". I got the same error on machines running both 10.6.8 and 10.7.2.
I tried login with "User" with SSH and confirmed that I was indeed able to move/rename folder in the "Share" directory but just unable to do so using WebDAV. Any ideas? Thanks!

@A
Is it a normal behavior in the Web-DAV protocoll?
@ctrld
As I read you aliased the folder to a folder inside the user folder "/Users/username/Sync"?
How can i realize it with a shared folder for uploading and downloading file with multiple users?

Rename files and retain portions of the original filename

I posted a thread about this a while ago, but no solution was given:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2564646
The issue is this: I can't figure out how to rename imported files while also retaining part of the original filename. The images come off of the camera like this:
DSC_3497.nef
I need to do the following:
+- Retain the unique number that the image already has. I don't want to rename the files by date, location, lunar phase, or some other esoteric identifier. I think having a unique ID for each image (one that shows up in standard OS-level searches on both Mac and PC systems) is useful.+
+- Replace "DSC" with the camera model (D3X), since I use multiple cameras with different resolutions and also need to be able to search for images from a certain camera outside of Aperture (i.e. tags/keywords would not help).+
+- Add a digit prior to the four-digit string to indicate the true numeric sequence of the file. Since Nikon cameras reset the number sequence every 10,000 files, I want to indicate the true sequence number directly in the filename. This will also avoid filename overlaps. It also lets me know how many images I've shot with each camera.+
The intended final result would look like this:
D3X_63497.nef
Showing the 63,497th image taken with my D3X.
In Aperture's "File Naming" dialog, I don't see a way to split the existing filename in this way. It looks like I can only append or prepend a Custom Name to the Version/Master name. I don't see a way to split the existing filename at the underscore, for example, so that portions of the original filename can be selectively replaced.
This is not about finding a workable naming scheme for Aperture and then renaming all existing files. I spend time on the PC side for various things and also work with a number of people who don't use Aperture but need access to my image library. I also have hundreds of references to existing filenames in various print and web design projects, as well as my Flickr account with 3000+ photos.
Going back and updating all that stuff is not going to happen. But using a System Service to rename files after every import is also pretty tedious.
Any solutions that meet the three criteria outlined above would be greatly appreciated.

sempervirent,
You're asking for some pretty advanced file naming. Most people aren't going to need that sort of function, so I doubt there will be a hook into Aperture to do such a thing. I suggest using a shell script or Applescript along with EXIFTool to rename files before you import them into Aperture. http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
Retain the unique number that the image already has
If you're not afraid of the command line, it's easy enough to use a tool like awk or maybe perl to parse that sequence number from a well-formatted string like the picture name
Replace "DSC" with the camera model (D3X)
You can use EXIFTool to extract the camera model from the EXIF dat ain the photos
Add a digit prior to the four-digit string to indicate the true numeric sequence of the file.
Good luck with this one. You'll have to do a filename search through all of your previous files to find out what 10,000 you're on. It's possible, but you'd have to do some specialized coding in AppleScript or shell script.

Rename files recursively

Hi Expert,
I am having a hard time renaming files within subfolders, i have this script:
Get-ChildItem -Recurse | where {$_.name -match "^(_2014-|2014-)"} | % { rename-item $_ "_000000$($_.name)"}
it does rename the files on the current folder but in the subfolders keeps throwing this error;
Rename-Item : Cannot rename because item at filename does not exist. much appreciated
Regards

I have upgarde to powershell 4 but none of the scripts works,
1- the first script there were no error msgs, i had executed the script as it is just changed the path of the folder,
Set-Location -Path "C:\test"
2- Rename-Item : Illegal characters in path.
At C:\rename1\test.ps1:3 char:9

OSB version: 11.1.1.5
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Hari

Hari,
If it is multi user environment then ask all users to close their sessions using change center. If it is a single user environment then please rename the sessions folder (D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\osb\config\sessions\ALSB_IDE_Internal_PublishOp_1345525-4159) and restart all the servers. It should solve the problem.
Also check whether the OS user who started the servers, has full access to the complete domain folder and permission to create directories/files into the domain folder and it's subfolders.
Regards,
Anuj
