I am attempting to execute a set of actions containing two "Save" commands. The first works fine while the second does not. (The destination folder is ignored and the file is saved in the same folder as the first Save.) The only difference I can see is that the second "Save" is modal and the other is not. The fact that the destination folder is contained in the action makes me think this ought to work and I’m missing something obvious.

(I have a JPG of the action set but I can’t see how to attach it.

I have searched the web and have not been able to find a solution anywhere.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I’m a little unclear here…

Are you trying to run this action via the Automate > Batch command or standalone from the Actions Palette?

Is this one action or > 1? (You mention "a set")

Is your objective to save the target image in two different folders in, say, different formats?

Help me connect the dots and maybe I (or someone) will be able to help get you over the hump.
