You do need to count down to 1, otherwise the counter x will become greater
than the number of images you have on the card, halfway through the repeat
loop. There is also no need to get the ID (neither the long or short ID) as you
can simply refer to the image by its number (the counter x). The best solution
is the suggestion from Mark Wieder, to place the cloned images in a group and
just delte the whole group in one go. Then there is no need for looping or
checking names or IDs.
If for any reason you cannot place the images in a group, you should take the
advice from Bob Sneidar and rename each clone as you create them. The easiest
way is to add a number to the name, storing the latest number in a variabel if
the clones are not made within a repeat lopp with a counter. This script will
then work:
local sImageNum
on cloneImage
clone image “ticket”
add 1 to sImageNum
set name of last image to “ticket” & sImageNum
end cloneImage
on deleteImage
put the number of images of this card into tImages
repeat with x = sImages down to 1
if last char of the short name of image x is an integer then — you will then
keep the image you use as basis for the clones
delete image x
end if
end repeat
repeat with x
