I just set up a batch process to run an action on a folder of pictures. The action is to resize all of the pictures to 320 x 240. I had to get creative so that it wouldn't squeeze the pictures horizontally or vertically since the source files are of differing initial sizes and layouts but I got it to work just the way I want.
My issue occurs when I run the batch process that saves the files back out. I selected a destination folder since I don't want to overwrite the originals and I also want to take advantage of the "file naming" feature of the batch process.
Here's the problem... since these are .jpg files, every time the process gets to the "save as" | "JPEG Options" dialog box, it stops and waits for me to choose the JPEG options and press enter. This happens with every file in the batch. Now admittedly it's not that big of a deal for me to just hit the return key every time it stops on every file but what's the point of a batch process if it isn't completely automatic. Sometimes I'm batching quite a few files and I would just assume go get a cup of coffee than to sit there and press the return key every single time.
I thought about adding a section in the action that would save them out but then I lose control of being able to rename all of the saved files sequentially like I prefer.
Any ideas???
