politicus Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 From a Mac OS X 10.9.4 user thank you very much! What a very useful workflow... that finally works for me. Previous versions were not very stable -> makes me even happier to be able to use this one Presets and preview -> Awesome ! Carlos-Sz 1 Link to comment

evanfuchs Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Hi, I installed the 4.0 beta 1 for Alfred 3 and when I invoke both by keyword and file action, I get "Processing…Please Wait" for a few seconds and then reverts to default search options. Link to comment

Can you please give me more details? How many files did you select in Finder? What kind of files did you select in Finder? Thank you. Link to comment
evanfuchs Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I apologize. I was working on giving you more details and noticed something else funky with Alfred (selecting a folder in the Alfred window wouldn't open it - nothing happened) so I restarted my machine and now both issues are resolved. The workflow is working great! Thanks. Link to comment

shadowfax1 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Rename looks incredibly awesome. I can appreciate all you put into it, and am grateful it's available for free. I am learning regular expressions right now, but am admittedly not there yet, and I'm having an even harder time integrating it into a working command line for Rename. I was wondering if you would mind offering a quick bit of help here... I have 400 image files in a folder that need to be renamed in bulk. They all share the same format: Yada yada yada - IMG_1234.CR2 Yada yada yada could be any string of any length. Space before and after the hyphens are consistent across all files - IMG_ appears in every single file in that position 1234 could be any 4 digits including zeros, but it is always exactly 4 in length There is never anything after the 1234 digits except a period and the extension I want to rename the files to: Mendenhall Glacier - EXIF capture date - 1234.cr2 The Mendenhall Glacier string would be the same for all files. The EXIF date I believe I need to use $cmm, but I'm not sure how to work that into the regex The 1234 should be whatever the original 4 numbers are The capitalization of the extension I intentionally want to now make lowercase What would my full Rename command line look like to accomplish this? GREATLY appreciate your help! Edited October 17, 2016 by shadowfax1 Link to comment

macroni Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 First, thanks for such an awesome workflow. I have absolutely loved this. About a month or so ago, it really slowed down for me. A selection of only 9 or 10 Finder items usually takes about 90+ seconds to preview before the "Apply Now" menu item appears, then it takes another 90+ seconds to actually rename the items. Currently using the most recent Alfred version and Rename 4.0 beta 1 on El Cap (10.11.6) I'm not sure if I've changed some weird setting somewhere? I have an iMac and a MacPro, and the workflow is about the same on each. Any thoughts? Thanks again. Link to comment
JolinM Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hi Carlos-Sz, this looks so great. Unfortunately, the download link is down Love your work! Link to comment
Carlos-Sz Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 A new beta of the workflow that fixes some Mac OSX High Sierra bugs I have found. Please note: Use it with caution. Make some tests first. Backup your files before using the workflow. Rename 4.0 beta 2 - download now Link to comment
macroni Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Absolutely love this workflow! Any chance it will be updated for Alfred 4? (It seems all of the scpt files reference Alfred 3 specifically, which it tries to launch when called from Alfred 4.) Thanks! Link to comment

dionmunk Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I'm on macOS Catalina 10.15 and Alfred 4.05, and I can't get this workflow to work at all. I did have to allow Alfred to have Full Disk Access, Files and Folder access, and Automation access, but that still didn't allow it to function. I applied a possible fix for the q_workflow.scpt and changed the 7th line: set my _data to (POSIX path of (path to home folder)) & "Library/Application Support/Alfred 3/Workflow Data/" & (bundleid) & "/" to the following: set my _data to (system attribute "alfred_workflow_data") & (bundleid) & "/" But it didn't seem to make it work. I tried it with a single file and with multiple files selected. Essentially, when I have a file selected and select Rename, Alfred just disappears and nothing happens. Maybe the fix isn't quite right? Any help would be appreciated. This looks like such a useful workflow for Alfred and I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. It wasn't until recently that I realized Alfred can perform file operations. 🤦♂️ Link to comment

Is there a way to view any sort of logging for a workflow? Maybe I can track down where things are going wrong. Edited October 25, 2019 by dionmunk Link to comment

dionmunk Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I've updated the workflow to work with Alfred 4 and macOS Catalina. All original lines of code are still in all of the script files, just commented out, with my modified lines below them. Download: Alfred 4 - Rename 4.0 beta 2 I do have a feature request, though. It would be awesome if each captured piece of the filename could have the {find@@replace}{-modifiers} applied to it. So I could do something like the following: File List: This.Is.A.File.Name.For.A.Movie.MP4 This.Is.Some.other.FILENAME.blah.mp4 Rename RegEx: (.*)\.(.*)@$1{\.@@ }{-t}.$2{-l} Results: This is a File Name For a Movie.mp4 This is Some Other Filename Blah.mp4 This would honestly make the workflow perfect imo. Haha. Anyway, awesome workflow. Thank you for your work Carlos!!! Link to comment
