modifying files within a container field

[vago_sucio]

i have a db that stores pdfs of the original document with each record in a container field. i would like to rename the pdf with the record number when it is inserted into the container. is there a way to automate this?

thanks!

You can script it and use Troi File plugin in the script to change the name of the actual file. I'd imagine it's possible to do it with Applescript as well, if you don't want to buy a plugin.

I believe you'll have to export the actual file from the container, change the name of the exported file, then import or insert the newly named file back in the container.
