Remember this:

An action is a 'record' of what you do in PS...or more accurately its a 'list' of actions previously performed by you.

When it is played back it uses exactly the same layers, files, folders, adjustments, whatever each and every time.

If when you recorded your action you only saved to ONE location then that is the location it will use each and every time you run it...via batch or not.

You could, and I stress could, record yourself saving out each and every file to their respective folders but this would rather defeat the object.

You could add a 'stop' into the action at the point of selecting the folder in to which to save each file which, although it would work, does make it less 'automatic' than you would like.

If you need to save to different folders with different filenames then  [USER=29762]colleague[/USER]'s suggestion of writing a script is probably the way to go.

They can handle variable names, unlike actions, and will probably be much quicker too.
