Photoshop Automate>Batch to target just one file type

[AG_Ps_100]

Hello everyone,

I have many folders with TIF files, NEF files (RAW Images), and XMP files.

but I want to play a batch action just on the TIF files.

Is that possible using Automate>Batch? Maybe script (jsx) of it?

Already tried Image Processor but that's not it.

Thanks in advance.

There is an Image Processor type Script one the web by Paul Riggott that can filter file types it processes. The script name is Picture Processor ie "Picture Processor.jsx" search the web for its download GitHub - Paul-Riggott/PS-Scripts: Photoshop Scripts

Thank for your help JJ, as always.

I found it and it's very nice, I looked around the Forums and found these two threads:

Based on it I wrote this script:

#target photoshop
// the script requires to select a folder, then it opens all the TIF or PSD inside it (including subfolders) and saves them as JPG quality 5.
var theFolder = Folder.selectDialog("select folder");
var fileandfolderAr = scanSubFolders(theFolder,/\.(tif|psd)$/i);                //var fileandfolderAr = scanSubFolders(topFolder,/\.(jpg|tif|psd|bmp|gif|png|)$/i);
var fileList = fileandfolderAr[0];
for(var a = 0 ;a < fileList.length; a++)
{
var docRef = open(fileList);
var Name = app.activeDocument.name
        var savePath = activeDocument.path;
        var saveName = File(savePath + "/" + Name)  
        SaveJPEG(saveName,5); 
        app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); 
}
function scanSubFolders(tFolder, mask) { // folder object, RegExp or string
    var sFolders = new Array();
    var allFiles = new Array();
    sFolders[0] = tFolder;
    for (var j = 0; j < sFolders.length; j++){ // loop through folders            
        var procFiles = sFolders.getFiles();
        for (var i=0;i<procFiles.length;i++){ // loop through this folder contents
            if (procFiles instanceof File ){
                if(mask==undefined) allFiles.push(procFiles);// if no search mask collect all files
                if (procFiles.fullName.search(mask) != -1) allFiles.push(procFiles); // otherwise only those that match mask
        }else if (procFiles instanceof Folder){
            sFolders.push(procFiles);// store the subfolder
            scanSubFolders(procFiles, mask);// search the subfolder
         }
      }
   }
   return [allFiles,sFolders];
};
    function SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){     
    jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();     
    jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;     
    jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;     
    jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;     
    jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality;      
    activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);      
    };
