Minor modification to Dr Browns Image Processor Pro?

I came across Dr Browns fantastic script and I'm hoping there's a developer that might be able to help with a minor (?) revision to the code.

He has kindly released the source code on his website  http://www.russellbrown.com/images/tips_downloads/OpenSource.zip

I need it to do two main things:

Save 1. run a renaming convention on the original images and retain the file type/ extension

Save 2. resize the images for web (incorporating an action called up from PS to convert to RGB). No problems here.

I know I can do this in a two step process with bridge to rename and then use the script (or indeed a droplet) to resize for web, but I wish to keep this as a one step process.

Image Processor Pro does both of these fine except for one thing:

I need an option in Save 1. to save files in the format they already are - rather than forcing all files to save into a particular format.

I get hundreds of images from various companies (I work as a designer for an arts organistion) and they are all in a variety of formats and I want to maintain the highest possible quality file we are provided.

Basically I want the option of using the naming convention section of the script without the file save as file type bit.

This assue this could be done by either skipping the File Type/ Quality section altogether (but keeping the save to subfolder), or by including "keep current extension" into the file type drop down.

Things that would also be great:

3. An option to delete/ replace originals in the process (as I will be deleting these anyway)

4. The script can be made into a drag and drop application that calls up bridge/ PS?

Any assistance on this would be great.

PS- I have posted this over on the Photoshop discussion page as well, as that is where I came across the scipt in the first place.
