Using Save As in action doesn’t change directory

I just re-built my PC with Vista x64 and re-installed PS CS3 from scratch upgrading to 10.0.1 from the auto update. I need this for LR2 to integrate.

Since the re-build (I was on XP x64 previously) one of my actions which includes a ‘Save As’, which saves the image to a specified directory and as a JPG (not the directory the image opens from), is unexpectidly displaying the ‘save as’ dialog, waiting for manual input. This opens on the source image directory, suggesting it’s ignored the suggested destination path, and it suggests the PSD file type rather than JPG as suggested in the action. It seems to be looking for input simply because it thinks I’m trying to overwrite the original image file.

Anyone else seeing issues like this running under Vista x64?

Thanks, Paul A

Figured this out! My images were in 16bit and weren’t converting to 8 bit before the Save As action was hit, hence the dialog!
All working fine now.
