i think automater will do that
but
do shell script "
PREFIX="PHOTO-";
cd /Photos/folder/
for file in *;
do
mv $file $PREFIX$file;
done
"
The “AppleScript way” would be like this:
tell application "Finder"
set photos to files of entire contents of (choose folder) -- entire contents digs down through internal folders
set prefix to "myPrefix" -- entirely optional.
repeat with aPhoto in photos -- run through the files and change their names
set newName to prefix & "-" & name of aPhoto -- stick a dash between the prefix and the old name
set name of aPhoto to newName -- do it
end repeat
end tell
Remember, that if you choose this folder again, you’ll end up with “prefix-prefix-OldName.jpg”; not useful unless you want that.
