    Can you append filenames when saving with an action?

      If I want to run some actions on a numerous photos that allows me to take three different sections of each and save them out as separate files, how can I make it automatically create a new file name each time?

       

      For example, if I have an image named DSC1001.jpg and I open it, run an action to cut a section of it out and save it as DSC1001-a.jpg, do the same thing with a second section of the image and have it save as DSC1001-b.jpg and then a third as DSC1001-c.jpg, how can I then open the next image (DSC1002.jpg) and have each section save automatically as DSC1002-a.jpg, DSC1002-b.jpg and DSC1002-c.jpg?

       

      Is there a way to do this?  It wouldn't even need to have the original file name in it, I just can't get it to do this without saving over the same three files over and over again.
