Rename inbound faxes using a folder action script
Authored by: JHromadka on Oct 24, '06 09:11:44AM

I was the one that the poster helped on MacNN (thanks again!), and the problem we ran into with the default Mac OS X naming method came when moving the files out of the Faxes folder.

If you had a FAX from Unknown.pdf file, moved it, then got another Fax from Unknown.pdf come in, it would replace the other file when moving it to the other folder.

With the full time/date stamp in the file name, this doesn't become a problem anymore.
