I am using Automator version 2.3
I have hundreds of PNG screen shots from a computer game that is in a Mac Beta, because of this, screenshots are only saved to the desktop. Because of the mass amounts of pictures I was getting, I used Automator to find these files, and rename them and put them in order of the date they were created.
My Workflow:
-Get Specified Finder Items
-Copy Finder Items
-Make Sequential
-Add Date or Time
This worked perfectly.
But now I have a new batch of files that I need sorted into the mix. This is an ongoing process because I refuse to have hundreds of images flooding my desktop.
But when I add my new files into the "Get Specified Finder Items" and add the previously sorted images, no matter where I copy the files to, there is always one picture that stops the workflow during the "Copy Finder Items".
I'm stumped on why this is happening.
My only concern is that I have 2 hard drives. I work on a 27" iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 with a 250GB SolidState drive and a 1TB HD drive. The screen shots are saved to my desktop which is located on the Solid State, and my other screen shots are located on my HD drive. I copied the screen shots over to the HD drive, thinking that was the problem, but it didn't seem to work.
What could cause these errors?
