Hey,

ive done a search but i cant find anything specific, i'll explain why i need the workflow, im sure automater can do it im just not entirely sure how.

on the xbox 360, when i watch my video files, if you have a jpg file the same file name as the video file, the picture shows in the xbox dashboard, it looks quite cool and just creates a more polished effect

the thing is when i have a full season of episodes of say 24, creating copies of the same file 24 times AND ensuring that it has the same file name as the video is excruciatingly boring and time consuming.

is there a way for automater to copy the picture file the same amount of times as i have video files and make sure it has the same name (albeit with a .jpg extension rather than .avi) i dont mind if it has to rename the video files aswell, (i actually i think it will be easier if it did, as some files are named with the season, episode number and episode title Ie, "Numb3rs S04E03_Velocity.avi" to 'Numb3rs S04E03.avi')

any ideas

thanks
