| I have created a action which performs several steps but it stops when the
dialog box opens to name the file. My question is, all the files are
already named, is there a way that the action can just keep the same name
and save me from having to name each one over again. I'm doing hundreds of
images so it would save me tons of time.
Thanks in advance

In the actions dialog box is an option to 'save and close'. Is it on?

:) It is right smack-dab in the middle of the dialog box. I suggest you make
a copy of a number of files (windows - use control-drag) to a folder and
test it using the folder option (near the top). When you do the final run,
have the output go to a separate folder so you don't destroy your originals.
Best of luck. It's _great_ when you get it nailed down. Just fire it off,
sit back and relax.

| OK, once again I think I know too little because your explaination doesn't
make sence to me,
where is the "dialog box " you are talking about ? Is it when I create the
action? if so there is nothing on that dialog box that says anything about
"save as"
I understand the part about coping files to another folder and testing
before my final run but I'm lost when it comes to where the "save as" is on
the action.
Maybe you can walk me thru a new action and I will create a new one.
Thanks for all your help

Open an action in the action palette and click the chevron so all the steps are
shown ... the left-most box tells the action to use or not use that step, the
next box tells the action whether to pause or keep on going at a given step.
Un-check that second box and I think that will fix your problem.
Even if you have it checked if you are doing a batch run on a folder with File

'override action "open" command' check box ...

Indeed the OP wants File-Automate. Thanks for the nudge, Bill. I forget what
we know. Silly me.
