If image_extension_list is dynamically generated in some way, then
you would have to use some manner of repeat loop. However, if these
extensions are known at compile-time, you can use multiple filters:
-- Line continuation characters removed:
-- Debug
--
set oldF to choose folder
set newF to choose folder
tell application "Finder"
move (every file of oldF whose
(name ends with ".gif") or
(name ends with ".jpg") or
(name ends with ".png")) to
newF with replacing
end tell
