Automator's Bulk customization file name

Through the Services menu in Mac OS X, you can also use the functionality of another application while executing an application. The service in Snow Leopard is more convenient and practical. It displays only the service items associated with the current program or browsing content, not all service items. You can use the service function by right-clicking the mouse button or by holding down the control and pressing the touchpad buttons. You can set your own menu so that it displays only the service options you want, or use Automator to establish your own services. Here's how you can use Automator to make a handy "service" menu. This demonstration is for renaming a large number of picture file names.

The steps are as follows:

1. Open the Automator from under the Application folder.

2. After opening, select the "Services" option.

3. Designate the "Service accept selected" menu as "image file" and select "in any application" as "finder"

4. Select the files and folders option from the Library Type field on the left side, and the right side action Select Rename Finder project.

5. Pull this action to the left side, and a dialog box appears, selecting "Do not join","" means copying the file you want to change to a different location.

6. There are many ways to change names, as shown in the following illustration, you can choose a way that you prefer to be used as a future default. This is the demonstration for "making continuous"

7. Finally, you set up a good service store, and name a convenient and useful names. You can close the Automator first.

8. Where would you like to use this new "service"? As shown in the following illustration, there will be three places for you to choose from. 1. The "services" below the Finder menu at the top of the screen, 2. The action button for the Finder window and 3.
