This is what I need to achieve:
- I take a screenshot
- Automator watches my Screenshot folder for a new file
- A prompt appears for me to rename the file
- Date & Time are added after the name I give it
So the result would be: NewName on 02/04/20 at 3:49:44 PM.png
How could I set this up?
I've managed to set up a folder action through automator so that it watched my Screenshots folder, prompts me to rename new files, and add the date/time, but I don't like the time format Automator uses.
Is there a combination of folder action/script that would provide the result shown above?
Thank you!
02/04/20
, as a filename, not a path filename is/
is a path delimiter and cannot be used as part of the individual filename. E.g.02/04/20
represents multiple directories/folders. As to the time naming convention, a file can be created with, e.g.,3:49:44 PM
, however it will show as, e.g.,3/49/44 PM
in Finder, but3:49:44 PM
in Terminal. This is in part why the default naming convention for screen shots is e.g.:Screen Shot 2020-04-02 at 10.32.40 AM
Screen Shot
in basename only, and under Options check [√] Show this action when the workflow runs
