Batch renaming files
This workflow is very useful to rename files quickly as well.
Just select multiple files, hit cmd + shift + space (this is the usual shortcut for file actions, yours can be different) and type "Slug", then select the provided file action. All selected files in the Finder will be processed by the script and be renamed for a URL safe environment.
To do
Eventually move the file action to an output of AppleScript or other script that commits to Finder's history to allow going back (cmd + z) and undo the rename action.
