1. Re: Batch execution of Export prompts for JPEG info?
Muppet Mark May 22, 2013 12:44 PM (in response to robains)I will admit I've not used actions in some time but… have you turned off the dialog toggles in the action pallete…? Do seek help in the general forum too… Many more users there use actions too…

2. Re: Batch execution of Export prompts for JPEG info?
robains May 22, 2013 2:16 PM (in response to Muppet Mark)I was able to get it to do what I wanted eventually. Solutions is to NOT use the "Save to Web" dialog.
To get the batch working I did the following during an Action recording:
1. Standard Image Resize (not from Save to Web dialog)
2. Use "Save As" and select JPEG quality options
I was able to successfully use this Action in a Batch on an entire folder of images and get them all resized the quality adjusted and put in a new folder -- without any need for my interaction.
Is there an alternative to "Actions"?
Thanks, Rob.

Muppet Mark May 22, 2013 3:48 PM (in response to robains)Yes script is an alternative to actions… Users of this forum are mostly scripters… Where your action just plays out over multi-files with a set of pre-recorded of parameters and may fail if the curcumstances are not correct. Script allows for conditional logic you can make all sorts of decisions of what to do and when… Change course during the execution and such… Much more flexible but a fair bit more complex to too. You need to have a basic knowledge of Visual Basic, AppleScript or JavaScript to get you started…

Muppet Mark May 23, 2013 9:34 AM (in response to robains)Oh good… by next week you can help me when stuck… There should be most of the scripting documents installed with the apps inc. the ESTK (debugging tool kit) as PDF otherwise try the devcentre…
