[QUOTE="eric, post: 407197, member: 22327"] ok, you should be able to open automator, find "Finder" on the left. Then find "Rename Finder Items" in the second pane. then, on the right, click the drop down that says "add date or time" and choose "Replace Text." then you just put an "_" in the find field, and a " " in the replace field. to make this easy, you may want to create a folder somewhere to drop these items to be renamed, then choose that folder in the top most part of your automator function. hmm. testing this with one file on my desktop and it's not working. perhaps i don't have all the options right. well, this will give you something to start with. and i know you'd love to do this "1st party," but renamer4mac is a really nice tool. so nice in fact i added a button for it on the top of my finder windows. ;) [/QUOTE]
