I am writing a script to cut a area out of a photo then paste it as a
new image and then save it. My problem is that when I run in silent
mode PSP does not increment the name it just saves over the last one
with the name that was recorded in the script. I dont type in a
filename when I record the script I just hit enter to accept the auto
generated filename. How can I get the script to just use the auto
incremented file name?
I am in PSP 8.01 Win2k
Here is my script that just saves the current unsaved file. It just
saves over 44.jpg everytime.

If you remove from the script the line that defines the filename
('FileName': u'C:\\Documents and Settings\\saariddle\\My
Documents\\My Pictures\\Image'\u'44.jpg', )
it should use the default - which is the auto-generated name it gets from 
the non-saved new image. But, PSP probably includes the image-part, so if 
you need to have greater control, some programming is required.

Here is what I eventually came up with.
'FileName': 'c:\\' + App.ActiveDocument.Title + '.jpg', 

It concatenates c:\ with the active documents title which gets auto
created when you paste the new image and the I added the .jpg.

It works like a charm.
