The new naming convention in Snow really sucks.. The names are so long that I can't even ready Screenshot… If i wanted the dates before I just looked at the inspector. Seems to me like the typical bad idea of a marketing guy in apple.

Anyway.. Thanks a lot for this workflow!!

I've attempted to use the Automator script to rename the files, yet I've run into a snag. When automator first renames the files, it does so flawlessly. If I then take additional screencaptures, the script runs into an error because it tries to rename the new Screen shot files to Picture 01/02/etc. again. These filesnames already exist, so the action fails. What can I do to make this script rename files starting with the lowest valid name (ie start with Picture 04 if it senses the presence of files named Picture 03, Picture 02, and Picture 01)?

Great tip - just what I was looking for. I used to use a modified version of the existing system finder Applescript to rename "Picture" to whatever I wanted providing sequentially named files of whatever I was planning. This became impossible because of the changing file names in snow leopard.

Top tip and tutorial in Automator.

Thanks a million
