    script or automator to create file alias?

    Posted by Blase Theodore on January 29, 2008 at 4:57 pm

    I need to create an automator action or a script that does the following:

    I have a list of folders
    01
    02
    03…

    Each with a list of contents
    01:
    file1.dpx
    file2.dpx…

    Part 1. I need to make an alias inside of each folder of the first file

    (folder) 01:
    (alias)file1.mov
    file1.dpx
    file2.dpx…

    (folder) 02:
    (alias)file1.mov
    file1.dpx
    file2.dpx…

    Part 2. I need to rename the alias to the name of the folder.

    (folder) 01:
    01.mov
    file1.dpx
    file2.dpx…

    (folder) 02:
    02.mov
    file1.dpx
    file2.dpx…

    I know this is doable, but I can’t wrap my head around it. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Blase
