SImple way to add border?

Question

Hi All,
I am trying out a version of fireworks 8 on my new laptop ,
coming from using fireworks 4 on my desktop. My question is how can
I add a simple 1px solid colour border to my images. I could do
this quite simply in fw 4 but I can't seem to get beyond some
horrendous textures and patterns in fw8......don't even seem to be
able to select / point to the border in order to change its
properties. Think I'd better stick to my old faithful if I can't
get this licked.
If anyone knows a v. quick method to do this that would be
great (have got a milltion images to resize and add border to
asap!!
Thanks in advance
Emma

There's also an extension called Picture Border:

Here's another one:

and here's the JS for it in case you modify it on your own:
var l = fw.selection[0].left;
var t = fw.selection[0].top;
var w = fw.selection[0].width;
var h = fw.selection[0].height;
var newl = l - 5;
var newt = t - 5;
var newr = newl + w + 10;
var newb = newt + h + 10;
// insert new rectangle primitive
fw.getDocumentDOM().addNewRectanglePrimitive({left:newl,
top:newt, right:newr, bottom:newb}, 0);
fw.getDocumentDOM().arrange("backward");
// set stroke
fw.getDocumentDOM().setBrushNColor({ alphaRemap:"none",
angle:0, antiAliased:true, aspect:100, blackness:0,
category:"bc_Pencil", concentration:100, dashOffSize1:2,
dashOffSize2:2, dashOffSize3:2, dashOnSize1:8, dashOnSize2:1,
dashOnSize3:1, diameter:1, feedback:"brush", flowRate:0,
maxCount:15, minSize:1, name:"bn_1-Pixel Anti-Aliased",
numDashes:0, shape:"circle", softenMode:"bell curve", softness:0,
spacing:15, textureBlend:0, textureEdge:0,
tipColoringMode:"random", tipCount:1, tipSpacing:0,
tipSpacingMode:"random", type:"simple" }, "#FFFFFF");
fw.getDocumentDOM().setFillNColor({ category:"fc_Solid",
ditherColors:[ "#000000", "#000000" ], edgeType:"antialiased",
feather:0, gradient:null, name:"fn_Normal", pattern:null,
shape:"solid", stampingMode:"blend opaque", textureBlend:0,
webDitherTransparent:false }, "#ffffff");
// set effect
fw.getDocumentDOM().applyEffects({ category:"UNUSED",
effects:[ { EffectIsVisible:true,
EffectMoaID:"{a7944db8-6ce2-11d1-8c76000502701850}",
ShadowAngle:270, ShadowBlur:5, ShadowColor:"#0000004d",
ShadowDistance:1, ShadowType:0, category:"Shadow and Glow",
name:"Drop Shadow" } ], name:"UNUSED" });
fw.getDocumentDOM().arrange("backward");
Here's an oldie, but still works great:
