Can File Utilities invoke the Rename Engine during copy or move, i.e. can I refer to a Renaming Template to be applied during Copy or Move by the File Utility? If so, how do I do that?
Not just now, but it's coming in the not too distant future! You'll be able to pick an existing template in the Copy, Move and Save-for-Web actions, to be applied to the destination file(s).
I'm also planning a "Rename" action that will apply a renaming template to the original files (this will in effect implement a template-based batch-renaming function).
