The entire first block of "set" statements in the code above can now be replaced by:

set unfiledpictures to ((path to pictures folder as text) & "unfiled:")

From the release notes: "The path to command now has the following new folder constants: applications folder, documents folder, favorites folder, home folder, library folder, movies folder, music folder, pictures folder, public folder, shared documents, shared documents folder, sites folder, utilities folder."

You know, I have been wanting a

path to home folder
statement for so long! The statement:
(container of (path to desktop folder)
works but it is a lot more cumbersome and less obvious.

I'm glad they expanded the options that the path command gives you, it really helps out.
