I'm trying to setup a simple rename:

Code: Select all

Name starts with "Scanned Document"

Rename with pattern: (date created)(extension)

It renames to the date created, but the extension (which was .pdf) gets dropped. I tried changing (extension) to .pdf, and it still just gets dropped. I thought maybe it was there but invisible (even though Finder is set to show all extensions) and added a second step to toggle the extension to visible, and it made no difference.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I changed the (extension) setting from no change to lowercase, and now the extension is preserved. Weird.

Is there a reason it must be coded in Applescript? If not, this Hazel rule will work for you...

Try checking the logs. Go to the "Info" section and click "View Log". Search for a file whose extension was getting stripped and post/email in the resulting excerpt.
