When ScanSnap sends documents to DT, I have it naming them with the date in this form: YYYYMMDD. It seems that I used to be able to adjust this format in ScanSnap, but the new software seems to have reduced my options.
What I want is for the date to have a space after the year, like YYYY MMDD.
I know DT can do this with a smart rule, but I’m not smart enough to know how to do that. (See what I did there?)
Any help appreciated!
Name condition 20[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] (not 100 % …) and this script should do it.
-- Change name from "YYYYMMDD" to "YYYY MMDD"
on performSmartRule(theRecords)
tell application id "DNtp"
try
repeat with theRecord in theRecords
set theName to name of theRecord
set newName to (characters 1 thru 4 in theName & space & characters 5 thru -1 in theName) as string
set name of theRecord to newName
end repeat
on error error_message number error_number
if the error_number is not -128 then display alert "DEVONthink" message error_message as warning
return
end try
end tell
end performSmartRuleThank you so much! Perfect!
