How to use current folder name without path as a variable in automator on Mac?

I am using Mac OSX 10.8.3.

I have a workflow in Automator that looks like this:

  • Query Search Items
  • Get folder contents
  • Make consistent
  • Move Finder Items

The goal of the workflow is to automate the renaming of the sequence of photos that I saved in folders and move them to a new folder.

I want to capture the folder name and paste it into a variable and use this variable in the "new name" field in the Make Sequential section of the workflow (see attached) image.

How to get the name of a folder and assign it to a variable. My example has a variable called "FolderName"
