Thanks. It works better with these adjustments. However, the new code does not work as intended if a finder window is open, albeit inactive. In those cases the new folder is created within the folder of the inactive finder window rather than on the desktop.

I see the problem, sorry. Now, the solution I propose makes the behaviour somewhat inconsistent. There are now two cases:
The changes to be made to the original script are:
A much more elegant fix would be possible if I knew a way of knowing if the selection is on the desktop proper or on a window for the desktop.

Impressing! Thanks, this fully sorts the problem I was having. Now it is a nifty time-saver for tidying my desktop (as well as messy folders). I even dragged an app-version of this script to the finder toolbar for easy access when in folder windows.

Ooops. This version has created a folder and moved my Desktop folder into it when running the script from the Desktop folder and clicking on the "Enter your own" button. Then nothing happened. I had to move back my Desktop folder to its place as root, since the Finder allowed me only to copy it back, but it was using the original one in the folder created by the script! |
