Hi Roger,
I have at least 30,000 Mac files and folders that have filenames
containing non-cross-platform-friendly filenames. Many of them even
include dates with the / character. This makes it difficult to use
the Rev
rename command to change it to a better name because the / is seen
as a
folder delimiter.
no need to worry here, these filenames are nicely resolved in Rev!
Example:
Filename on HD: Pythons/1.jpg
Path in Finder: -> /Users/klaus/Desktop/Pythons/1.jpg
Filename returned from "ask file..." (the way Rev sees the file!):
-> /Users/klaus/Desktop/Pythons:1.jpg
The slash "/" is replaced with a colon":", one of the forbidden
characters in
OS X Finder pathnames, smart, isn't it :-)
Does anyone have a ready-made script that cleans up such
filenames? These files are also buried within several subfolders,
so it
needs to work recursively. I owe you much gratitude if you can help.
And here you have an example recursive script:

That will get you started.
