 Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2007 5:21 pm Post subject: Making a Counter in a batch rename script |
 |
|
Hi,
i have modified the "batch rename with EXIF data" AppleScript so that it use the data i want.
the main string for the name looks like :
| Code: | | set newName to theSubject & "_" & theYear & theMonth & theDay & "_" & theKey |
It works pretty good.
Thing is, instead of the Date i would like to have a number count. I have 2000+ pictures from a trip and i would like to do something like this :
| Code: |
set newName to theSubject & "_" & 0000 & "_" & theKey |
"0000" would be a 4 digit number assigned by either : the order of the pictures in the catalog or the Date&Hour taken (at worst by the filename order... but i'd prefer the others)
i would like to know how i can implement this in the code? I can understand the code a bit, but writing new things like that is hard for me considering i have only written Flash actionscript before.
Last thing, "theKey" is defined by Keywords. But i'd prefer to have something like the name of the Set in IView instead. i tried to define it earlier in the code with:
| Code: |
set theSet to the media set of theItem |
but it won't work. I found "media set" in the IView library. I think it may not work because maybe this info is in not saved in the file but in the IView catalogue. Any ideas?
thanks
