I have several dozen 1" square patterns that i would like to use as pattern fills on a larger canvas size. I would like to define the pattern, resize the canvas and then fill the larger canvas with the pattern. I would like to automate this so i can select a folder with all my patterns and have the new larger files saved to another folder. But when I set up an action, i have to specify the pattern fill, so running a batch is giving me only the same fill over and over again. is there a way to set it up so that the fill is the LAST pattern defined? thanks.

I think if you delete all patterns before you start and make an action that deletes the existing pattern 1 and then defines it, the action will work. You’ll need to crete a bunk pattern 1 before running the action.
