Have you tried saving it in the [text] file path you want? (Just text, not

file or alias.) Same thing?
That's the ticket, I think. Last week, when I made that thumbnailer script
posted here, I found that the dictionary is flat wrong regarding 'file
reference'. It _only_ worked for me with text paths.
Here is a tested line that saved a copy, without any resource fork:
save window 1 in outName as GIF with makeCopy and wwwready
Omit the final 'and wwwready' to keep the rez, add a preview and an icon.
And if you can get 'scale' to work, please tell us how!
