Speaking kindly, I don't know Applescript. Cobbling together any piece of working code is usually a time-consuming accomplishment. I've been working on an Automator Workflow for myself and someone else that will allow the user to select images in the Finder, enter metadata tags, then upload the images to Flickr. All that is fine. What I'd like to add into the Workflow, presumably with Applescript, is a script that performs the following steps:

1. Ask the user if s/he would like to create a new Smart Folder.
2. If Yes, prompt the user for Smart Folder keywords criteria.
3. Create a new Smart Folder in ~/Pictures with these search criteria: 1) Kind is: Images and 2) Keywords contains: the user-entered text in Step 2.
4. Ask the user to name the new Smart Folder.


Is this possible? Is there another (better?) method to incorporate this into the Automator Workflow instead of with Applescript?

Thanks in advance for any and all help with this.

Brad
