Saving a photo to a different folder and renaming it.

[shek faip85609166]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make a script that allow me to save a photo to a different folder and rename it to something else.

I got the saving to a different folder part done (save to the PackageImages) but it's not renaming it. I want the photo to rename as "key".

This is my script so far:

var doc = app.activeDocument

if (app.documents.length > 0) {

  var thedoc = app.activeDocument;

  var docName = thedoc.name;

var docFolder = Folder( doc.path  );

var newFolder = Folder( docFolder.parent + '/' + "PackageImages");

var NewName = docName.replace("docName", "key");

  var jpegOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();

  jpegOptions.quality = 12;

  jpegOptions.embedColorProfile = true;

  jpegOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;

  var filename = newFolder + '/' + NewName + '.jpg';

    $.writeln(filename);

  thedoc.saveAs((new File(filename)), jpegOptions, true);

};

It would be very helpful if someone could tell me what Ive done wrong. Hope someone helps me figuring out how to fix this

Try

var NewName = docName.replace("docName", "key");

var NewName =  "key";

I've tried that. It doesn't work...

It works for me. Is there an error message? In what color mode and bitness is the original document? Has the document been saved to a folder whose parent has the "PackageImages" folder?

It is working now, it was my bad, I put key instead of "key".

Thanks a lot.

Your script worked for me without any change. So the problem was you put key instead of "key"​, before update was done.

In my opinion it should not work

var NewName = docName.replace("docName", "key");
