Yeah seems like it. Thanks for trying anyway.

Seems like being able to save copies back to the location of the source file would be a useful thing.
Like when you do "save as" normally, the dialogue box opens in the folder where the source file comes from.
When you do a save as in an action it should (at least give you the option of) letting you save your changes to that file's source folder not forcing you to save back to the folder used when recorded.
This makes sense when you're batching sub folders and you have a lot of files coming from different places that you want to do the same kind of changes too.

I'm not even sure why you'd want to force an action to always save back to one specific folder.

Oh well, I've finished it now anyway. It only took me six hours to manually run the action on every folder. :neutral:
