question about batch processing (setting up an order for source files)

[marlonh44326653]

Hey,

I have a question about the batch processing feature of the new photoshop.

I want to safe 100x different .psd files as 100 .jpg files. Their names should be kept starting from number 1 to 100.

This generally works with the stuff I've setup in this screenshot http://prntscr.com/efx45x (sry german version).

But ... Photoshop opens the source .psd files randomly. So it starts e.g. with psd number 40 and safes it as 1 and so on... I want to keep the exact numbers of the .psd files as the created .jpg file. Is there a possibility to tell PS to open the files in order according to filenames?

I would be very pleased if someone could offer me a solution for this.

Thank you very much!

Forcing a specific order may require scripting, but you can start by using number padding with leading zeros to actually get correct numerical sorting. You may also want to disable saving in the background and such, so no new files are opened while the current one is still in use...
