I have an action that manipulates an image and saves it as a jpg using the ‘save for web’ functionality. I want to use the Automate -> Batch utility to processes multiple files, save them with their original filename + _small + extension and stick them in a folder. When I select destination: folder in the batch dialog, choose a folder, choose override action "save as" commands and select document name + _small + extension, and run the job, it ignores my filename settings and saves the file as the filename and in the folder specified in the "save for web" step of the action. I’ve tried recording the action with both the "save" and "done" buttons within the "save for web" functionality, but
neither produce the results I am looking for. Anyone experiencing the same frustration?
