Rename
Rename action tasks are used to rename the job files they receive. Note that you can see how each file
is renamed via the Object Inspector when stepping through a process in Debug mode.
Input
Any job file, in any format.
Processing
The task renames the job file to the desired name, and changes the value of %f and %F to reflect the
new name.
Output
The input data file is output, with the new name.

Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in the Pro-
cess area.
Run Script
Run Script tasks are used to run scripts that typically perform some kind of processing on the job file
received by the task. Scripts are often simpler to write than programs added with the External Program
action (see "External Program" on page384). However, they can be slower to execute.
The Run Script task can be used either as an Action or a Condition. When dragging and dropping a
Run Script task on a given process, you select whether to use this task as an Action or a Condition from
a contextual menu. (See also: "About branches and conditions" on page115.)
For more information on scripts, what languages are supported and how to write scripts and conditions,
please see the related chapter, "Using Scripts" on page117.
Input
Any data file, in any format.
