File Renamer (Mac Alfred Workflow)
This simple workflow lets you rename the string (i.e. filename) following the small-case-with-hyphen format, either in-place or via alfred box. Also, it strips some unnesessary symbols like colon.
E.G. change A guide: Comp Neuro.pdf to a-guide-comp-neuro.pdf.
You can easily change the python snippet to use other title formats if needed.
Two ways to use it:
- hotkey - double-tapped
⇧: rename the contents in-place where the cursor is - trigger keyword -
rn: rename the contents from clipboard by alfred box
Limitations
The input string doesn't support punctuation marks from non-ASCII languages (e.g. Chinese).
