| Which kind of processor is available on your sister machine ?
I understood why 'as alias' behaved flawlessly here. The files where already saved once so, the coercion as alias behaved well. If a file doesn't exist when the coercion to alias is asked, this one fails.
I guess that it's why Graphic Converter requires an Unix path but I am a bit bored by the fact that its dictionary issue a wrong requirement.
As I wrote in an other message, I'm remembering that PPC machines required a more elaborated path than intel ones. It's why, often, I call System Events to create a file before saving in it. It's what somebody points some days ago about my use of Ditto.
Glad to read that the problem is solved but it's not my soluce. I just coded the info given by Thorsten Lemke.

Yvan's last suggestion was the cure.
set thePath to ((thumbScaledPicFolder as text) & theName) save window 1 in (POSIX path of thePath)
The Rational is that this was a GraphicConverter issue and needed to be saved as a POSIX path.
Why this only was a problem on an older Mac may never be known.
