I'd like to add that I am not trying to create an action of files in folders, now! I am simply trying to create a jpg image (quickly) of an opened file.

Instead now i have to "flatten the image" and next go to "Save As" and then Find the pull down "jpg" option. Then go to Save and then choose "12" for the quality. Then go to "close" and the "Dont Save".

What a bunch of steps...

If I could just simply press command+F12 or whatever and "walla" its done...

Any way to do that, on an opened file? just one at a time or the opened ones?

I have created an action but it has to write it to a folder named "JPGimages" then i have to go out by hand, grab them and then move them into the folder that they were originally at, which all started from the psd file in that folder to begin with...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance....

What you are looking for is a terrific feature that is in Fireworks. What you do is the conversion once which is all done in their save as dialog the selection of optimization, format etc.

Then in their history panel you save that as a command. It will be available from the command menu and the batch process as well.

It would be great to at least save the steps performed in the history panel as a command that could at least be repeated for future use on other documents as well as the original.

By the way you can batch convert files fro different directories

As I said before this is a simple task for a script that could be triggered from a function key, this sort of thing has been available since Photoshop 7.
