Probably easier to stop saving stuff to the Desktop than trying to generate a
"smart enough" script that'll put things where you think they should go.

On the other hand you only need to write the script once and you can use it
forever. I sent the OP a script I've been using since system 7 to do the
same thing.


set p2d to path to desktop as Unicode text

tell application "Finder"
set theDocs to every document file in folder p2d

There may be a problem with that approach. "The Desktop" is a kind of crazy
conglomeration of the desktop folders of whatever local volumes are mounted.
That command only provides the desktop files of the startup disk.


How about this instead:

tell application "Finder" to set theDocs to every document file of the
desktop

Hello

My machine is never part of a network so I can't check if what you wrote makes a difference with my proposal.
It's my own rule, try to offer only code that I may test.
