    Hi Agi,
    small suggestions in your script steps. In assigning the $_script variable instead using this line:
    // “do shell script” &” \”"& “mkdir -p ~/’desktop/FMExports/myfolder’” & “\”"
    and after that substituting the myfolder with the $_id

    you can have all covered in one script line with simplified syntax:

    “do shell script ” & Quote(GetAsText(“mkdir -p ~/desktop/FMExports/” & $_id))

    I have it tested with your file and it worked fine for me. Let me know what you think.
