| Need: Script to traverse folders + allow file renaming Suppose I wanted to do in a script the functional equivalent of File > Automate > Batch... a. Source: Use all subfolders b. Destination: Save and close ...plus c. engage the File Renaming option to change the processed file name You can do a) and b) within Batch, but not c), too. - - - - - - - - In real ugly pseudocode, something like... - - - - - - - - Top_level_folder = "\My Documents" Open Top_level_folder; Number_of_files_read = 0; Do until all files processed; Open file (traverse multiple, nested folders; read all files taking into consideration some folders may be empty) Number_of_files_read = Number_of_files_read + 1 \\Do something to the file [I can do this via called action] New_filename = original_filename + "-" + Number_of_files_read + "-thumbnail" Save as New_filename * in the folder from which the file was read * file format = .jpg * compression=10 * If duplicate, save over the top of it. Close file End do; = = = = = = = = = Don't need a GUI or input dialog to specify high level folder. Ditto for new file name constants. I can tweek the .js code to do that. PS7 preferred. CS optional since I'll be a CS2 user someday. Any takers? ~Danny~ |

| Hey Danny, I'm pretty sure what you want is described in the last chapter of Fraser's ACR w/ CS2. That is if I came close to following your "pseudocode". |
