Rosebud, one thing I would add would be changing the preview mode to "Best (Full)" automatically in the script. You might also want to change the interlacing mode to Progressive automatically as well. At the end of the script, it should - obviously - reset them back to where the user originally had them set.

Ok, new version with Edward suggestion.
(personally, I prefer to set those options manually).

thank you very much , but i have little problem
i have few regions (named) and each include one marker.
need make snapshot at marker(now work pretty nice) and name it after region .

think is possible?

I’m not sure to understand what your are looking for.
Why don’t you give the same label to your markers and your regions ?

yes i can give same label at region ,
just ask if possible by itself coz i do it very often

anyway thanks you for very usefull help

try this one (your markers must to be in a region) :
