So, optimized we'd get:

function getFolderFromFilename tFilename
  set itemDel to "/"
  return item 1 to -2 of tFilename & "/"
end function getFolderFromFilename

Note: I wrote "set the itemDelimiter" as "set itemDel", because they're
equivalent, and it takes MC some piece of time for each char it has process.

So: "the shorter written, the faster compiled"

(I note for myself, that having used the starter kit for a long time, is a
good training for short-writing.)
