Script no longer working. Help please.

I have the following script that worked just fine last year, but since upgrading the OS it no longer works as it should. First it only scales and save the first image file of a batch to the 'Photos' folder and does not scale and save any to the 'Thumbs' folder.
Can anybody shed any light on this for me please.
Here is the script as an image as I don't know how to add it otherwise.

Ok twtwtw
Here it is and thanks in advance.

          set Photos to (this_folder as text) & "Photos"
          set Thumbs to (this_folder as text) & "Thumbs"

  • My 'run with administrative privileges' script no longer works - help

    Hey all. I have an applescript that shuts down the computer that I made a while back. I pulled it out today to use it and it no longer works. Here's part of the code I'm having trouble with:
    do shell script ¬
    "sudo shutdown -h now" password "myadminpassword" with administrator privileges
    On old machines this worked great, I would just put the admin password where myadminpassword is and it would work perfectly. Now though, I run it on my machine and I get the prompt to enter my admin username and password before it will shutdown.
    Now this is going on a remote install so I need it to work. Any ideas? The machine is running snow leopard, but it seems to still work on an old leopard macbook pro.

    Well, for one, do not use sudo in do shell script.
    The whole 'with administrator privileges' part takes care of elevating your privileges. sudo has no place in do shell script.
    Don't know if that's your issue, but it's the first thing I'd fix.
    If that doesn't help, are you running the script as your admin user?
    Nowhere in your script are you defining the username to run the command as, therefore it will attempt to run as the current user who may not be the same as your admin user, nor have the same password. You might need to include the username:
    do shell script "shutdown -h now" user name "admin" password "myadminpassword" with administrator privileges

  • Script no longer working under Maverick

    I just upgraded to Maverick over the weekend and I can not figure out why this script no longer works.  It has been working for the last 5 years.
    The script moves a file my server sends per e-mail to a folder on a partition on my Mac.  Here is the script.
    tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
              set selectedMsg to (current messages)
              set selectedMsg to item 1 of result
              set msgAttachment to attachments of selectedMsg
              set msgAttachment to result's item 1
              set attachmentName to name of msgAttachment
              set attachmentFile to ((path to desktop) & attachmentName) as text
      save msgAttachment in attachmentFile
    end tell
    delay 3
    set submitfolder to "OS E:Users:e:Desktop:" as alias
    set collectionfolder to "/Volumes/Data E/Consulting/Telephone Switch Record/2014" as alias
    tell application "Finder" to move (every file whose name contains ("week ") & (do shell script "date +%U")) to collectionfolder
    delay 2
    tell application "Finder" to move (every file whose name contains ("week ") & (do shell script "date +%U")) to trash
    I now get:
    If I run:
    tell application "Finder"
              open ("/Volumes/Data E/Consulting/Telephone Switch Record/2014" as POSIX file)
    end tell
    it opens the folder no problem so the path must be ok?  or? 
    Any ideas why it is broken? 

    Are you getting the error on this statement
    set collectionfolder to "/Volumes/Data E/Consulting/Telephone Switch Record/2014" as alias
    or when you do the move? And what is the error number you are getting?
    Also try this
    set filePart to "week " & (do shell script "date +%U")
    log filePart
    tell application "Finder" to move (every file whose name contains filePart) to collectionfolder
    to see what the string looks like.

  • Scripts no longer working via Bridge

    For some reason, scripts no longer works in Bridge CS4.
    I've previously installed "Dr. Brown's services" scripts which is available in the "Tools" menu of Bridge. However, when I select some files, then choose this script Photoshop starts up, but nothing more happens.
    The same goes for the "Tools"-"Photoshop" menu (Batch, Image processor etc.). Photoshop CS4 starts up but nothing else happens.
    However, if I do the same thing in Photoshop itself ("File"-"Scripts") it works fine, so the scripts themselves are working, or so it seems.

    If for some reason Bridge suddenly behaviors other then before the first
    thing to try is a restart for Bridge holding down option key to refresh the
    preferences. Set Prefs again to your wishes and try again.
    For some reason, scripts no longer works in Bridge CS4.

    Ok. You don't have to select your number. Just check your email under your "grey" number and then at the bottom of this page you will see the option "Start new conversations from". Select your number.

  • After upgrade Script No Longer Works

    After I upgraded CS4 to .605 my script no longer works. I get:

    So it's still somewhat a mystery, because that particular command didn't change from CS4 to CS5.
    Can you try the 'fix' mentioned here? CS5 issues

    What I'm trying to do is change the resolution of a jpg file to 300 dpi and then change the the jpg pixel dimensions to a width of 1000 pixels--constraining the proportions and letting the height dimension fall wherever. That's what the "Resize JPG's" action does. I then want to save the jpg to a new file called 'FCPoriginalfilename'.
    The script gets hung up on "save docRef in file newFileName as JPEG with options myOptions appending lowercase extension with copying". I get the error message that "Photoshop CS3 can't make some data into the expected type"
    I modified the script from a previous script that I wrote to convert raw files to TIFs which I have attached--it works fine.
    Thanks.

  • Since updating to v.3.4.5 adjustment brushes no longer work? Please help??

    Hi Guys,
    I have just updated to Aperture 3.4.5.
    Annoyingly the adjustment brushes and sliders such as "straighten" no longer work. They are added to my adjustments panel when I select them from the drop-down menu, but are accompanied by the sound of the dreaded apple beep (suggesting something is wrong) and do not change the cursor into the appropriate tool, thus preventing me from carrying out these particular adjustments.
    If someone has any solutions for this problem, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Test again in a different user account with a small test library. Does it still not work for a different user after reinstalling?
    And test in your regular account with a small test library.
    is it possibly something to do with an incombatiability between the new update and a plug-in?
    Which plug-ins are you using? Are they all compatible with Aperture 3.4 and Lion?
    Aperture 3.4 and later: Some third-party plug-ins are no longer compatible
