Rename and move files in finder

[inlife]

What I want:

Rename the file “xx.jpg” with clipboard-selection
Move the renamed file to folder “yy”

Why?
I’m gonna “export” container items from Filemaker as jpg’s and this is how I’m try doing it:

1. In Filemaker, copy container-image to clipboard.
2. In GraphicConverter paste the image and save as “xx.jpg”
3. In Filemaker copy text from field “filename”
4. With AppleScript, rename the file “xx.jpg” with clipboard-name.

Pleeease, can someone give me a hint of how to do this?

I’m not sure I completely follow what you want but the script below works for me and will probably get you started.

set target_folder to (path to desktop as string) & “FMP Images:”
tell application “Finder”
try
get target_folder as alias
on error
make new folder at desktop with properties {name:“FMP Images”}
end try
end tell

tell application “FileMaker Pro”
tell database 1
repeat with i from 1 to count of records
set the_name to cellValue of cell “image_name” of record i
set the clipboard to cellValue of cell “image_content” of record i as picture
my save_image(target_folder, the_name)
end repeat
end tell
end tell

on save_image(target_folder, the_name)
tell application “GraphicConverter”
make new window at beginning
tell window 1
paste at {0, 0}
trim
save in (target_folder & the_name & “.jpg”) as JPEG
close
end tell
end tell
end save_image

Success, thanks alot jonn8

Works great but GraphicConverter makes the images to 16 bit colour (or maybe 256, dont know exactly). The images looks like shit, look here:

Is that because of the clipboard limits or is it a workaround to make the igames look better?
