automatorfilefolderstextedit
I have a huge folder containing musical scores and books (mainly in .pdf).
I would like to create a text document (TextEdit will do just fine) which contains the complete list of the folder's content (possibly even divided into subfolder).
Is it possible?
If not in a TextEdit file, maybe in Numbers?
Is there any Automator process that can update that file so that when I add or modify a file, an entry is added / modified?
If you already have a variable with the name you want, the easiest way would be to add a Rename Finder Items action after the PDF is created. Set it to Name Single Item, and you can just drag in the variable as the new name.
Download Alfred 2. It is an excellent application that allows for a streamlined search of your computer's files, and it also allows has other uses such as opening other applications or webpages. It shows you the location of the file that you're accessing, so for example if you type "chrome" it will show the option of opening Chrome in its application location.
A useful shortcut is "apple click" which then opens up the location of the file.
