Found a good tutorial on using Automator to rename files using the creation date. I had several photos with duplicate filenames that I wanted to use in sequence by date.

Automator Quick Action, Run Shell Script with a Workflow receives current “files or folders” in “Finder.app”

The script Shell: is bin/zsh and Pass Input: “as arguments”. The Quick Action is called RenameWithDate and is activated by right clicking on one or more filenames and choosing Quick Action in the popup menu, then selecting RenameWithDate:

for f in “$@”
do
filedate=$(date -r $(stat -f %B $f) +%Y-%m-%d);
filename=$f:t
filepath=$f:h
mv $filepath/{“$filename”,”$filedate $filename”}
done

Fairfax County now uses the application PLUS to access all planning and zoning records. To find information, use the Search window at the top. Search by address, application number, parcel number, etc.

Application number – If there are multiple numbers, there is likely a Parent application where the Staff Report will be located 2 weeks before the case is heard by the Planning Commission. To find the staff report, click on the Record Information>Related Records. The parent application is listed first and the related applications indented. After selecting the parent application, under Record Information>Attachments (wait a minute for them to appear), should be the staff report.

Parcel number – Use the Validator to check the proper format for the parcel number. Start typing the 4 digit first number, with leading zeros, and options for the next numbers should appear. You can cut and past this number into the general search window of PLUS. However, it will not work in the Parcel number search option of PLUS. Use the general search option instead.

Address – Use the Validator and then the general search option.
