P: Export As does not support Actions or scripting

I agree, has there been any movement on this - it makes Photoshop completely useless as a tool for exporting a large volume of images where automation is vital. 

>Image Processor does not support the .png filetype.>

A reason we have kept asking Adobe to license or buy Image Processor Pro. Might be time to ask again?<G>

And yes, I agree about the need to keep SFW at least until Export As has parity with it. I use SFW far more than Export As currently.

A VERY important part of this conversation is that "Export As..." was *supposed* to replace "Save For Web..." and it is the opinion of this thread that the replacement should at least have parity of features with the old version.
An essential part of a professional pipeline is the ability to automate processes to boost productivity.
Image Processor does not support the .png filetype. This is a show-stopper for modern web and mobile development.

Hello,

Unfortunately, the Image Processor cannot change the dimensions of a pic without having both the width and height. So using it to make a 500px-wide image is only feasible if one knows beforehand the exact resulting height this width would result in.

Well, unless I missed something. Which is entirely possible, I've had to cut down on coffee.

(Also the .jpg quality is on a 1-10 rather than on a 1-100 scale, but that bit is more of an UX curiosity).

I use use the Image Processor for this:

- create new action
- File > Scripts > Image Processor (may be different path on the mac)
- choose your desired settings
- stop recording
- use and click Enter.


I use this to batch save psd and jpg with copyright mjetadata and my personal border style in one time.

Another customer here stumped by being unable to record Actions when it comes to the Export As... functionality.

(And who lost time not understanding why actions wouldn't record, since they obviously should).

Hello Adobe Product Managers, with the ever increasing cost per month of Adobe CC here in Australia, I am disturbed to find out, having wasted hours on this, that Export As is not able to be included in actions, and that we apparently have to find by ourselves a third party open source addon to do the job, while reading constantly from Adobe how great all the new things are that we get with our subscriptions. How hard can it be for a billion dollar company to employ some programmers to make this work? If it is technically impossible, then please put a section in the user guides about what actions are not available for recording, and why. It's really shoddy and disappointing for such a tool, supposed to be for professionals.

Can we please have this made to work?

Jeff, it'd be really wonderful if you all could ditch the old IP and replace with IPP. I've recommended the pro version hundreds of times over the years and it's changed lives!

I'm really worried that at some point, this tool will break and support from xbytor will be dropped... many of us would have a very difficult time coping with that loss.

That's Image Processor Pro from xbytor.
