I have a script that renames images when added to the record using info from the record:
let config = input.config();
let table = base.getTable("Musicians/Presenters");
let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync();
let record = query.getRecord(config.recordID);
let logo_field = table.getField("Logo")
let headshot_field = table.getField("Headshot")
//Collect Record Data
let stage = record.getCellValue("Stage");
let logos = record.getCellValue("Logo");
let headshots = record.getCellValue("Headshot");
let name = record.getCellValue("Performance");
//Function that takes files and field id, renames files
async function renameFiles(files, field) {
let newfiles = []
for (let file of files) {
let parts = file.filename.split(".")
let ext = parts[parts.length - 1]
let fileNumber = "0" + (files.indexOf(file) + 1)
let newName = `${stage}_${field.name}_${name}_${fileNumber}.${ext}`
newfiles.push({url: file.url, filename: newName})
}
//publish changes
await table.updateRecordAsync(record, {
[field.name]: newfiles
})
}
//Run function when data is present
if(logos){
renameFiles(logos, logo_field);
}
if(headshots){
renameFiles(headshots, headshot_field);
}
I use the script in an automation that detects when the relevant attachment field gets populated.
To do bulk downloads though, you'll either need to use a paid extension (see miniExtensions), a third party service (like Make or Zapier), or run a script from your computer. There are some examples of shell scripts on the forums, here is a link to one in python on github.
