Photoshop question on Save for Web and Devices... - GoFuckYourself.com

uno · 05-21-2009, 01:39 PM

I'm trying to batch files from different folders. My question is, can Save for Web and Devices change the directory path to correspond to the file being batched automatically? How can I do this?

uno · 05-21-2009, 01:47 PM

Let me clarify, when I say batch I mean via a function key set for a series of actions.

ReGGs · 05-21-2009, 01:51 PM

nah usually it will just save to whatever folder you originally set the action for. At least that is what I have experienced. If anyone does know a way to batch out to specific folders I would love to know about it also. Save a lot of time.

My best guess for a workaround would be to have a folder that just says "finished" or something and move the pictures after you have finished a set folder.

now join both code parts, save it with any name you want and extension .jsx and place it in your scripts folder, usually C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS2/Presets/Scripts/ (or CS3 if you use CS3, I'm poor and legit

)

i don't think u can.. I own/run retouching-on-the.net and I will ask some people on there.. because there are some really good photoshop people.

but let me make sure I have this correct

you have pics in

directory a
directory a
directory a

and then use action and then save it for a web.. and save it as

directory x
directory y
directory z

of course you can. the code I posted will save it in the same folder the input comes from (That's what I understand he wants). If he wants them to another folder, then he has to edit the code like this:

locate this at the beginning of code

Code:

			var FileName = file.name.split('.');
				var Filename = new File(decodeURI(outputFolder) + "/" + FileName[0] + ".jpg");
				var testFile = new File(decodeURI(outputFolder) + "/" + FileName[0] + ".jpg");
				var doc = activeDocument;
				if(win.panel0.panel2.ResizeCheck.value) FitImage( parseInt(win.panel0.panel2.Width.text), parseInt(win.panel0.panel2.Height.text) );
				if(win.panel0.panel2.Action.value) doAction(win.panel0.panel2.ActionName.selection.text, win.panel0.panel2.ActionSet.selection.text);	
				if(Filename.exists) testFile.rename(testFile.name.slice(0,-4) + time() + ".jpg");
				SaveForWeb(Filename,parseInt(win.panel0.panel1.qual.selection));
				app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

change to this:

Code:

			var FileName = file.name.split('.');
				var Filename = new File(decodeURI(outputFolder) + "/b-" + FileName[0] + ".jpg");
				var testFile = new File(decodeURI(outputFolder) + "/b-" + FileName[0] + ".jpg");
				var doc = activeDocument;
				if(win.panel0.panel2.ResizeCheck.value) FitImage( parseInt(win.panel0.panel2.Width.text), parseInt(win.panel0.panel2.Height.text) );
				if(win.panel0.panel2.Action.value) doAction(win.panel0.panel2.ActionName.selection.text, win.panel0.panel2.ActionSet.selection.text);	
				if(Filename.exists) testFile.rename(testFile.name.slice(0,-4) + time() + ".jpg");
				SaveForWeb(Filename,parseInt(win.panel0.panel1.qual.selection));
				app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

and now images from folderA will be saved to b-folderA, folderB to b-folderB and so on

I have pics as such:

01/pics/1.jpg
02/pics/1.jpg
03/pics/1.jpg
etc

I need the save for web and devices to save the files generated from the directories to be put in:
01/thumb1.jpg
01/thumb2.jpg
01/thumb3.jpg
02/thumb1.jpg
02/thumb2.jpg
02/thumb3.jpg
03/thumb1.jpg
03/thumb2.jpg
03/thumb3.jpg
etc

each thumb representing a different size. Right now it does the thumbs just fine, but it puts them all in the same dir. I'm going to try out the script posted earlier in the thread, thanks!

ok so for my purposes this should work:

Code:

var FileName = file.name.split('.');
				var Filename = new File(decodeURI(outputFolder) + "../" + FileName[0] + ".jpg");
				var testFile = new File(decodeURI(outputFolder) + "../" + FileName[0] + ".jpg");
				var doc = activeDocument;
				if(win.panel0.panel2.ResizeCheck.value) FitImage( parseInt(win.panel0.panel2.Width.text), parseInt(win.panel0.panel2.Height.text) );
				if(win.panel0.panel2.Action.value) doAction(win.panel0.panel2.ActionName.selection.text, win.panel0.panel2.ActionSet.selection.text);	
				if(Filename.exists) testFile.rename(testFile.name.slice(0,-4) + time() + ".jpg");
				SaveForWeb(Filename,parseInt(win.panel0.panel1.qual.selection));
				app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

Do I have to load this script somewhere in some settings or options if at all?

harvey · 05-21-2009, 02:46 PM

go to File > Scripts and if it doesn't show up, then > Browse

Code:

var FileName = file.name.split('.');
				var Filename = new File(decodeURI(outputFolder) + "../" + FileName[0] + ".jpg");
				var testFile = new File(decodeURI(outputFolder) + "../" + FileName[0] + ".jpg");
				var doc = activeDocument;
				if(win.panel0.panel2.ResizeCheck.value) FitImage( parseInt(win.panel0.panel2.Width.text), parseInt(win.panel0.panel2.Height.text) );
				if(win.panel0.panel2.Action.value) doAction(win.panel0.panel2.ActionName.selection.text, win.panel0.panel2.ActionSet.selection.text);	
				if(Filename.exists) testFile.rename(testFile.name.slice(0,-4) + time() + ".jpg");
				SaveForWeb(Filename,parseInt(win.panel0.panel1.qual.selection));
				app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

hmm that didn't seem to work, nor did /../

I'll let you know if it works.

I'll have to see if I still have my license laying around or i'll have to email them and wait.

I need a faster way to pick one pic from a gallery and just export thumbs in 3 different sizes.

uno RIP Dodger. BEST.CAT.EVER Industry Role: Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: NYC Area Posts: 18,450	Photoshop question on Save for Web and Devices... I'm trying to batch files from different folders. My question is, can Save for Web and Devices change the directory path to correspond to the file being batched automatically? How can I do this? __________________ -uno icq: 111-914 CrazyBabe.com - porn art MojoHost - For all your hosting needs, present and future. Tell them I sent ya!

ReGGs Confirmed User Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: SoFla Posts: 248	nah usually it will just save to whatever folder you originally set the action for. At least that is what I have experienced. If anyone does know a way to batch out to specific folders I would love to know about it also. Save a lot of time. My best guess for a workaround would be to have a folder that just says "finished" or something and move the pictures after you have finished a set folder.
