Batch tries to overwrite files in source folder

Hi,

I have recorded an action to resize an image located in a folder, resize it, save it for the web as a jpg and then save it in a new folder. If I run this action as a batch, the batch tries to save the file in its original folder and causes the 'this file exists in the target folder, do you want to overwrite" dialog. I have tried setting the naming convention in the batch dialog -> same result. Photoshop always tries to save the files in the source folder, even though I have set up a target folder.

Can anyone help me resolve this?

Many thanks,

Luke.

Save for Web is notorious for not working well in batch form

Try Saving As instead

Cybernetic is right. When you use SFW, the applet takes over all destination information from the batch dialog.

Best to use Save As.
