Get the user to select both source and destination directories at the beginning
get the names of all files in the directory using getfilelist and
store them in an array
then loop on this array using indexes and names stored, using open()
and save() with full path names on the source and destination
directory respectively
it can be good to enclose the loop in a condition testing the image
file extension (.tif or what you use), to avoid trying to open
non-image files if there are any in the source directory.
