On a Mac, if you have a folder of .jpgs saved at various dates, is there a easy way to change them all to now (today's date)?
Besides "save as" of course.

holy crap you can do this super easy with Automator:
Application --> Automator
Choose 'Workflow'
In Library select 'Rename Finder Items'
Close 'copy finder items'
Drag the files you want to rename into the right side of the automator window. It will create a new box titled 'Get Specified Finder Items'
In the box underneath select the options on how you want to rename/change the filename.
Hit 'Run' at the top.
Done!
