I don't remember but I do know you can take the original name apart and add your own name to it.
This is not real code syntax but shows the idea:
put (name of folder) into myfolderVar fix the directory to this one load the directory files into mydirVar now you have name of folder and list of files now repeat with x = 1 to num lines of mydirVar delete char 1 to ? of line x of mydirVar put "Image"& x before line x of mydirVar end repeat now you have a new name for each image based on the number of lines.
you could put the num lines into a global and add to that for the x naming
or you could put a time or special name to each image
Or in your case
you might just want to use the same name and the "if there is a" to check the file already exists and if so add a 1 to it and if that exists than add a 2 etc. this is a lot less coding and then you can ignore all of the other issues.
1raw***.pic
2raw***.pic
etc.
or add the long time before each with no punctuation in it
31801raw***.pic
OR even better set the twelveHourTime to false put the dateTime into mytime set the twelveHourTime to true
put mytime before line x of myDirVar
now each item should??? be different
There may be an even better way???

Hi tom
I'll have a look at rev for the code and learn how this one works
from first impression it looks like your script will name the images sequentially.
I need it to retain the directory name in the file name.
I now remember that I saw a script that had something like replace "raw" with \name. OK I'm lost here but I hope you get the meaning. It may also have been replace with characters between \&\.
Does that ring a bell?
I'm not with it today. :-)
Cheers Bob in the labI do this in my preOpenCard.
I get the default directory then put my own path into it - afterwards I put the default back.
I then get a list of the available images.
I then replace parts I need and sort the field and then put back parts. But you could do any kind of renaming with maybe a global that has the last name used so none over lap.
in preopencard
-snip-
put the directory into altdir
put defaultFolder & "/media/31i/" into the_path
set the directory to the_path
put the files into theimages
set the directory to altdir
if char 1 of line 1 of theimages = "." then delete line 1 of theimages -- .dsstore on mac
repeat with c = 1 to the number of lines in theimages
delete char 1 to 5 of line c of theimages
end repeat
sort lines of theimages numeric
repeat with c = 1 to the number of lines in theimages
put "Slide" before line c of theimages -- you could put anything here including another repeat with accumulating numbers
end repeat

files bob_raw01.pic 02.pic and 03.pic. My app lists the files and allows me to transfer them. It works great.
