Is there a way to check if file exists custom prompt realtime?

Questions & Suggestions
1

I have created a prompt to rename new files added to a folder.
The Macro aborts when file already exists.
Is there a way that the prompt tells me realtime if a file with this name already exists and show me its details so I can change name accordingly.

Also is there a way to display an image in a prompt for user input?
Would be awesome if that image pops up realtime as well.

Thanks so much for the amazing support!

No, there is no way for a Prompt to get any real time feedback.

The only option would be to use a Custom HTML Prompt so you could control the display.

After you execute the Prompt, use the While Path Exists action.
If it exists, then show another Prompt to get a new name.

Here's an example macro to get you started:

Thanks a lot.
I had created such a macro already, was just wondering I could check for it in realtime like those online Javascript validation fields.

Anyway Thanks a lot for your time!

Then why was your macro aborting?

With my above macro, it would never abort for this reason.
