argh beaten again - I have to face it I am just too slow but yeah that is what a droplet is
I have created them myself and used them but I haven't been able to create it in such a way to keep the same name
or hang on I did use 2 different files............ what did I do (it has been a while!)
I created the droplet to open from a file then resize and save to a file just on the desktop (yeah I am lazy) now did they keep the same name or did they change
hang on let me see if I still have some around to look at........
couldn't find them so I must have deleted them
but I have had a look into my trusty book and this is what it says........ and it is the whole lot so bare with me......
1. choose file, automate, create droplet.
2. click choose at the top of the box to decide where you want the droplet saved when all is done.
3. override action "open" commands is an option when selected forces the drople to ignore any command in the action that begins with file, open. so check this option.
4. the include all subfolders option enables all folders within a folder dropped onto the droplet to be processed with the action. If you don't check this option, only images in the root folder get processed.
5. check the suppress colour profile warnings option. the images in your folder have been colour corrected and tonally balanced by the creator. so if you don't want a nagging box popping up and alerting you then you will want this checked.
6. the override action "save in" commands option in the destination field. If the action was created with a specific destination or this option is selected. Say some months later you forgot where the saved target image is......... so you would have to check the override save in commands option, - choose destination: folder, and thin in the directory box, choose the desktop and the my images folder.
7. file naming section of the create droplet dialog box looks as though it could be confusing. don't panic. It enables us to format the file naming sequence. some of the options you'll find in this field are extension, serial numbers, date and document name and so on. when you are naming your file, you can select items to be inserted into the default names for the files, such as document name, serial number in numeric or alphabetical format, date the file was created, as well as file extension. Basically we don't do anything to the file naming field because we want to preserve the filename and change the extension to jpeg. document name and extension are the defaults for this feature.
8. choose an option for processing errors. stop for errors will halt the process until you confirm the error message.
9. click okay
okay you don't want them as jpeg's but I hope this helps you in some way.
