Using the Batch function to convert original file format to jpg I recorded an action. In running the Batch function the options allow for selecting the source and destination. However, I am only partially successful. The Batch function will choose the different folders since I have instructed it to access subfolders, however it saves them to the Action's original save folder and not the where I have listed the Batch to save them to.

Any way to override the Action in the Batch process? And even a step further it would be real nice if the Batch process had an option to save the the Source's folder, but I do not see that in the option field.


Thanks,

Doug

Hi Patrick,
No I did not... When I read that I read it to mean something else. Is that what you recommend me trying?

Thanks,

Doug

Hey Doug, welcome to our community. :)

I just wanted to make sure you knew that hawkeye was the one that helped you. :) It wasn't me. No worries on the confusion. Good job, hawkeye.

Thanks,

Thanks Hawkeye.... (Sorry for the goof)
Much appreciated, with you suggestion and a slight modification in my "action" I finally got that elusive problem solved.
