Scripting Against A Tree Of Images Options

Hello, I have a large folder tree of JPG photos I would like to simply resave into a lower quality, while retaining the tree structure.

I made a script to do the resave part. But I can't figure out any way to keep the tree structure. PMView internally can only work on files within one folder (right?).

I tried to run the script externally file by file, but there I run into two problems:
- if not told otherwise by a "set output directory" step, pmview seems to be trying to save the photos to ? the current directory?
- if I tell it to use the "same directory as original" I get the replace confirmation dialog every time. I tried turning setting preferences/confirmations to "Replace file if it exists", but it doesn't help.
