	Hi all, I'm new to using Automator, I'd like to create a folder action for Automator. The files placed into the directory need to be renamed, using a droplet I've created from A Better Finder Rename. The renaming ability in the Finder part of Automator is almost good enough, except it doesn't read the date from EXIF (if there is a way to read the EXIF date and then use that date in the renaming using the Finder action, please let me know). So I have this droplet, and in essence I'd like to "drop" the files onto it using Automator (run the droplet). How do I do this? Thanks a lot, any help is appreciated (Last edited by anothermacguy; Jun 2, 2006 at 03:59 PM. )
