Automator error in Leopard

Automator doesn't seem to work properly in Leopard. This is the error I keep getting.

I think you need to provide a bit more info in what the Actions are doing?

From the looks of it though... you are getting 'missing value' where you expect a value?

Sorry about that. All I am doing is a simple Rename Finder Items Action saved as an application and also saved as a finder plug-in.

But how are the finder items being selected.

rmcellig · 10-29-2007, 11:48 AM

I take the finder items and drag them over the Rename automator application.

When I go to replace where it says name to something else, as I start typing in name, the error I sent as a jpeg shows up.

Ok let me do a quick test

Yep, Thats a bug.

It only happens if you have 'Show this action...'

Report it to Apple as a Bug.

Where do I see this? (Show this Action) I mean.

mark hunte · 10-29-2007, 12:35 PM

At the bottom of the action 'Options'

But if you have a rename type that needs to pop up a dialogue , it will error also
