Error 8800 when trying to save as PNG

[mirthev11883376]

Hey there!

I'm trying to save a bunch of PSD files as pngs but the script fails when saving, giving the error:

Error 8800: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.

- <no additional information available>

Line: 27

->  docRef.exportDocument(pngFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, opts);

My script:

var allFiles = app.openDialog();
var allPSDs = new Array();
var fileMask = /\.(psd|)$/i;
for(var i = 0; i < allFiles.length; i++)
{
if (allFiles instanceof File && allFiles.fullName.search(fileMask) != -1)
allPSDs.push(allFiles);
}
for(var i = 0; i < allPSDs.length; i++)
{
var docRef = app.open(allPSDs);
var pngFile = new File(activeDocument.path.fullName + "/Export/" + docRef.name + '.png');
docRef.flatten();
var opts = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
opts.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG;
opts.PNG8 = false;
opts.transparency = false;
opts.interlaced = false;
opts.quality = 100;
opts.includeProfile = false;
docRef.exportDocument(pngFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, opts);
// also doesn't work / gives the same error:
// var pngSaveOptions = new PNGSaveOptions();
// app.activeDocument.saveAs(pngFile, pngSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
}

What did I do wrong?

Are there layers or is the PSD a 16 bit file. No layers allowed or 16 bit version in PNGs.

Nope, neither! I even flatten the image in the script

UGH. I figured it out: the Export folder didn't exist.

What a stupid Error message for an error like this. Ugh.
