Thanks for this, it works really well. I've tried making 2 changes to the script but it doesn't seem to work right
- Use ExportOptionsSaveForWeb with JPEG 80% but it's giving me just 1 file name "filename-#0.jpg" with the contents of the lowest group
- Have the script elaborate only the top level groups to reduce the time it takes to load up and show the dialog box. At the moment it's picking up every group in the file.
What is wrong in this code?
