Hi - Many thanks to Kai, Mark, Deivy (Santista), Luther, Yvan and
Adam for the help!
Kai and Mark reminded me that I needed to pass New_file_path, defined
in one handler, to the other handler. Lesson learned!
Deivy pointed to a mistake in my counting the characters.
Luther contributed a script that did something else that I also
wanted (re-saving files in their original types so that I could get a
newer, better icon / preview).
Yvan pointed to a _very_ useful and educational folder action - and
Adam told me where to find it!
Thanks again, guys!
And the final script is below, after the one contributed by Kai.
A final note: when running the script an intermediate .sips file is
briefly created then disappears. Hmmm...
Going to the terminal with "sips --help" opens up a number of very
interesting possibilities.
No, wait, I need to finish my work. Hmm Hmm...
