Michael Cytrynowicz asked ...
Can someone help me with
...
on process_item(this_item)
	tell application "Image Events"
		launch
		set thisImage to open this_item
		scale thisImage to size 300
		save thisImage as PNG in file new_path with icon
		close thisImage
	end tell

I think the problem is in the 'save ...' command. I had a problem with this recently and found that I had to explicitly use the correct extension in the file name to get 'save' to work properly. I know it's redundant, but 'save' appears to have a problem understanding what I want. So I used ...


tell application "Image Events"
launch
repeat with dropItem in fileList
set fileName to my getFileName(dropItem)
try
set theImage to open dropItem
if newType is "BMP" then
save theImage as BMP in file (fileName & ".bmp") of destFolder
else if newType is "JPEG" then
save theImage as JPEG in file (fileName & ".jpg") of destFolder
else if newType is "JPEG2" then
save theImage as JPEG2 in file (fileName & ".jp2") of destFolder
else if newType is "PICT" then
save theImage as PICT in file (fileName & ".pict") of destFolder
else if newType is "PNG" then
save theImage as PNG in file (fileName & ".png") of destFolder
else if newType is "PSD" then
save theImage as PSD in file (fileName & ".psd") of destFolder
else if newType is "TIFF" then
save theImage as TIFF in file (fileName & ".tiff") of destFolder
end if


... and it worked!
