Change artboard name to file name

[UXexplorer]

I need to stack process 900+ .ai files so that the artboards become renamed after the file itself.

There are a ton of direction if you want to name a file after its artboard but not the way around.

Thanks for the effort!

hello @UXexplorer,

Give the below script a try... just run the script on the folder that contains your files.

var main = function() {

var myDirectory = Folder.selectDialog("Select files folder");
var files = myDirectory.getFiles(/.(ai|eps)$/i);

for(var f = 0; f < files.length; f++){
 var doc = app.open(files[f]);
 var myDocName = doc.name;

for(var a = 0; a < doc.artboards.length; a++) {
  doc.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex(a);
    doc.artboards[a].name = myDocName + "_" + (a+1);  
      artboardName = doc.artboards[a].name.toString();
  }
  app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);
 }
 alert("Done renaming Artboards on " + files.length + " files!")
}
main();

Regards,

Mike
