Well, it did work. Thank you! However...

I had to move the if statement to the top of the repeat loop as it was
testing for a folder on the file that was being name changed. It kept
reporting that "couldn't get folder of folder... of finder." I think because
it was busy. Moving it up top worked.

So you tested for it being a folder first, then processed the contents of the folder before changing the folder's name? I don't think it was because it was busy, but because the name was changed.

And you were also right about cutting the time in half!

That pretty much stands to reason; it loops only once instead of twice.

You're the best.

Nah. just above average.
