Simon, this is the rearranged version. Reminds this 64 year old of the days when I used to program Hypercard (you young whippersnapper have heard of Hypercard haven't you? Everything could have an interactive script behind it, sort of subroutines on steroids. Badly miss it.

I never did try HyperCard and it's been a loooong time since I was considered a whippersnapper! 

The amended code looks a lot better. I would change the resetFirstFolder() subroutine to:

on resetFirstFolder(this_File) -- ALL saved as default .psd files
tell application "Finder" to set file_Name to name of this_File
set file_Extension to "psd" --default Save name extension of this_File, will require altering if default is reset eg to jpeg
set file_Name2 to characters 1 through -((count of file_Extension) + 2) of file_Name as text
set file_to_save to (ptdpif & ":" & file_Name2 & "." & file_Extension as text)
set x to 1
repeat
tell application "Finder" to if not (exists file file_to_save) then exit repeat
set file_to_save to (ptdpif & ":" & file_Name2 & " " & x & "." & file_Extension as text)
set x to x + 1
end repeat
end resetFirstFolder

This makes sure that the only Finder bits are within a it's tell block.

Also, I prefer to use System Events (or do shell script) than Finder. It's much, much more reliable.

Simon
