[QUOTE="eric, post: 292931, member: 22327"] eh... it's pretty neat, but it doesn't seem as though you can wildcard. so if i had: [COLOR="DarkGreen"]dscn0148 dscn0149 dscn0150[/COLOR] i could go so far as to replace dscn01 with something else, but not the [COLOR="DarkGreen"]48, 49, 50[/COLOR]. so, i guess i could take each day's pictures and rename something like this: [COLOR="DarkGreen"]dscn0148 dscn0149 dscn0150[/COLOR] to [COLOR="DarkGreen"]family_20061225_0148 family_20061225_0149 family_20061225_0150[/COLOR] or [COLOR="DarkGreen"]family_20061225_48 family_20061225_49 family_20061225_50[/COLOR] but not [COLOR="DarkGreen"]family_20061225_001 family_20061225_002 family_20061225_003[/COLOR] without doing it manually. but that defeats the automated date modified thing i was trying to do with automator... but it does, for the most part, give me the same functionality as windows explorer.
