It works for me.
By the way the line
tell application "Finder" to set new_item to _pict_file
is totally unnecessary. just use _pict_file in the next line; no
need to use new_item at all.
And if you do have a need elsewhere that causes you to use new_item,
there's no need for the Finder to tell it; just assign the variable.
It is curious that you don't have to precede the path name with
"file" when saving, but can use the string itself.
