Posted on by VincentAZK 6
Hi,
 
How can we rename a folder by adding specific text in front of its original name?
 
Folder Name now: ABS
 
Folder Name to be renamed: xyz_ABC
 
I felt i's an obvious and easy task for PA to have, but looks like it's only available to Files but not Folders.

    You could try Move folder action to move it to a location with a new name.
