Hi..I have been experiencing a frustrating problem. When running an automated batch action which ends with a ‘save as’ command to a ‘action completed’ folder, the files keeps overwriting the previous files in the batch and retains name of the first file processed by the action.

Other actions I have created never had this problem, but all of a sudden it simply refuses to save the individual files without overwriting the previous one.

Any help or suggestions would be most welcome. I have tried deleting the preferencs and .plist files. I am running CS3 on a MacPro with OS X 10.5.4

Cheers,
David

It the Batch Dialog, do you have "Override Save As Commands" checked?

Thanks Ed for your reply … it seems to overwrite regardless of the "Overide Save As Command" … very weird, as I tried with it on and off thinking the same thing.

Double check the save as step (if there is one), as well as the override setting. The answer is in the mega tutorial, here: <http://www.atncentral.com/tutorials.htm>
