I have tried and at this point I think I have just confused myself. I am trying to rename a File to the name of the Parent Folder. I am lost and confused.
Example:
File = smb://synergy.local/Media/Servers/AudioServer/JJonJimmy - Let Me Cry/B9A7A83752D9EF25.mp4
How can I dynamically select a file from Finder and hit a hotkey and have it rename the file as such:
Rename the file B9A7A83752D9EF25.mp4 == JJonJimmy - Let Me Cry.mp4
I figured out how to manipulate the file to add the extension but everything i try to only pull the parent folder name fails.
this is a fantastic and useful idea!
I have very limited technical skills but @gglick, can this be modified to work on more than 1 file and add a sequential number (ie 001,002 etc)? Currently if I select 2 or more files it gives an error that the file name exists?
