In High sierra, I made a working applescript that bulk renames and moves files. In monterey, not only does it not work, but apparently I can't rename anything? I made something simple like the below script and even that gives me a 10003 error (access not allowed). is there a permission somewhere I need to turn on?
tell application "Finder"
set theFile to "hello world.txt"
set theName to "hello"
set the {name} of file theFile to theName & ".txt"
end tell
It’s hard to say what’s going on here because you only posted a snippet of your script. So I fleshed it out to something I can run, namely:
choose file
set f to result
tell application "Finder"
set name of f to "Hello Cruel World.txt"
end tell
When I run this and choose a file called Hello World.txt in my home directory, the file ends up being renamed to Hello Cruel World.txt.
This is on macOS 12.6.
Share and Enjoy

thanks! I figured out from this that I couldn't set and choose in the same line, that was messing things up. I do still have a problem now though, the script runs and works on some but not all of the files. I elaborated on the other thread. Could you please take a look?
