Possible to export photos sequentially with NO spaces?

There's no reason to have to insert a space before and after a hyphen from Photos. Here's an example:

The title was changed to 601-01, 601-02 and 601-03:

And when exported as JPEGS with the Title as the new file name we get this:

Are you sure you can't get the same result?

You can batch change the Title of selected photos to your number plus a sequential padded number as in my previous post. Compile the script in Script Editor and save an an application. Give the app full disk access. Then select the photos that are to be 601 and click on the application. Enter 601 in the first field that comes up and 2 in the second files (for 1-99 exported at one time). For 100 or more use 3 in the second field.

The script can be found here: Batch Change Title to Text w/Padded Sequential NumbersBatch Change Title to Text w/Padded Sequential Numbers

How are you exporting the photos? Are they in an album titled 601 and you're exporting with the Album Name? That will give you this:

If you have a lot of exported photos with spaced that you want to remove there's an excellent file renamed titled Name Mangler that will remove spaces from the file name when the image files are dropped on the app:

It's extremely powerful.

Hi artatlarge,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

You can change the metadata name of your photos to avoid the the space issue. This will need to be done from a Mac to make it easier.

* In the Photos app  on your Mac, choose View > Metadata > [metadata name].

Hi artatlarge,

The information shared is for macOS Sonoma and if needed can change which macOS version. you use up top in the link. If those details do not help you achieve the need for your Photos, you can reach out to the Photos experts here: Apple Support

Just copy the script from the link I provided and paste it into a blank window in Script Editor. The hit the compile button and save as an application.
