A file-gathering AppleScript
Authored by: MtnBiker on Oct 15, '04 01:50:28PM

Nice script.

I would add to Rob's comments the following two additions/changes:

"The folder will be at the same level as the original files."

and change "save it as a script in your user's Library -> Scripts folder (create this if necessary)"

to "save it as a script in your user's Library -> Scripts -> Finder folder (create these if necessary)"

---------------

Can someone add the ability to create the folder elsewhere?

To change where the folder gets created, change line 34 of the script from:
set theLocation to the target of Finder window 1
to:
set theLocation to choose folder with prompt "Please select a destination for your new folder:"
or you could hard-code a path for theLocation variable.
