I'm attempting to use Automator to rename picture files. I select "Make Sequential" and put the name in that I want. However, once everything is completed my pictures are not in the same order they were out of the camera. I like how my camera imports the photos in the order that I took them. Now when I look through my pictures my vacation is completely out of chronological order. How do can I set Automator so that this does not happen in the future?
Got a tip for us?

Forget Automator, Try Name Mangler !
Hey Mike,
I had the same trouble and another 'Mac Rumors Budd'y put me onto this program. It's called 'Name Mangler'... and it's great !
Easy to use and doesn't mess up your order. I have it sitting in my dock for all my re-naming needs inc. re-naming with sequential numbering after a common batch name eg LA Holiday Apr09 001, LA Holiday Apr09 002 etc etc
