Hi,

I am trying to make an Automator workflow that receives image files in Finder and renames them like I would. But "Rename Finder Items" doesn`t seem to discart the original name of the file; ie. I can only append sequential numbers, dates and times. Right now, if my file is:

nameofthefile.jpg

the result using my script is:

20110303-210003nameofthefile.jpg

And the result that I want is only 20110303-210003.jpg


Thanks I appreciate your help!
 
So my request can`t be done with Automator?
I don`t want to download another software that seems to reproduce something that I have natively on my Mac.
