Some time back (probably when using CS-3), I had an Action set that I ran with the "Automate => Batch.  It would apply the Action set to all the JPG files in one directory and create three files in another directory, all BMP images in three different sizes.  It worked perfectly fine.  If, say, I had two JPG files in the first directory, "one.jpg" and "two.jpg", it would create in the second directory the following files:




  • one.bmp
  • one -- Large.bmp
  • one -- Tiny.bmp
  • two.bmp
  • two -- Large.bmp
  • two -- Tiny.bmp


Somehow I lost that Action set and I am having a problem recreating it with Photoshop in CS-6.


I created the Action set by performing the actions on one of the JPG images in the first directory.


Let's say that the first directory has the two images, "one.jpg" and "two.jpg".  When I run the Batch now, the files ending up in the second directory are:



  • one.bmp
  • one -- Large.bmp
  • one -- Tiny.bmp
  • two.bmp


In point of fact, the two files, "one -- Large.bmp" and "one -- Tiny.bmp" have the content of "two -- Large.bmp" and "two -- Tiny.bmp".  That is, my Action set has overwritten the two files, "one -- Large.bmp" and "one -- Tiny.bmp".


I used to have this working perfectly well, but now I have this problem.  Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?


I have attached an image of the Action set.


Thank you very much.
