Goal: Using Shortcuts on macOS 26 to create an automation to automagically rename files, in sequence, when dropped into a specified folder.
Here is what I have:
Returns: File already exists
I know what needs to happen, I just don't know how as I am not familiar or proficient with Shortcuts

Alancito, it has been posted there as well, this was actually a last ditch effort on a forum.
Thank you.
The fix provided by Stephen Robles is here: https://create.beard.fm/c/posts/rename-files-in-sequence-when-added-to-a-folder
Note: the shortcut created specifically names the files to be added 'ScreenSaver_xx' but can be modified within the shortcut. Also, this allows you to add/rename one file at a time.
