Hello Mike,
your new file path is a string. Loading an image with QXP 5 needs
an alias. So, all it takes is to insert 'alias':
---
set image 1 to alias newPathFile
---
And you could speed up execution by setting a variable to the
properties of the image...
---
tell image 1
set p to properties
set oldPath to file path of p as string
end tell
---
... and reset them like this:
---
set properties of image 1 to {scale:scale of p, offset:offset of p, ...}
---
No need for the variables 'iSca', 'iOff' and so on.
You could also simplify the concatenation of the new file path:
---
set Key1 to text 1 thru 1 of FOLDERNAME
set Key2 to text 1 thru 2 of FOLDERNAME
set Key3 to text 1 thru 3 of FOLDERNAME
---
This way, instead of using...
---
... ":" & Key1 & Key2 & Key3 & ...
---
you can say:
---
":" & Key3 & "
---
Happy New Year!
Hans
