Q: Renaming process with applescript/automator
Hi
I need an automater workflow or an applescript that will watch a folder called “Finished videos”. When a video file (.mkv or .mp4) gets added to this folder, it should do the following:
- Create a new folder in the “Finished videos” folder
- Rename the new folder identical to the file that was added (minus the extension)
- Copy the added file into this new folder
- Delete the added file so it ONLY exists in the new renamed folder.
Alternatively if it is easier, it would be ok if the new folder gets created in a different “destination” folder. As long as the video file ends up in a folder named idental to itself.
No prompts should be shown during the process. It needs to run automataically.
Is this even possible? Hope someone can help :-)
Kind regards
