Hey Guys,
I needed to create a script that targets subfolders that contains PSD's and images, Long story short, my friend wrote a script that works on a PC, but doesn't know how to transfer it to a mac. The mac version gets errors, where as the PC version runs OK. This is the script, I am hoping there is a line in here that can be tweaked and thats all, any help would be greatly appreciated!
