P: Export As does not support Actions or scripting

We didn't remove any features. Actions weren't ever a feature for Export As. Actions still work fine with Save for Web and Save As operations.

This is why you're losing out to newcomers like Sketch and others. Why would you remove this feature? So infuriating

This is just plain silly not to have this feature anymore - why not? When is it coming back? This is a very common workflow requirement!

Any updates on this? It's a completely essential feature. Updates go by and still nothing on this at all.

Any updates on this one Adobe? 

It would be very helpful to be able to use the "Export As" feature in actions, similar to how you can use the "Save For Web (Legacy)" feature in actions.

I often create an action to Save For Web (Legacy) with specific export settings (size, quality, etc.), and then I run an Automate > Batch with that action on a large folder of images that I need to process with specific settings.  I would really like to utilize the new "Export As" feature with it's multiple size export features, but because it doesn't work with actions, I rarely have the opportunity to use it in my daily workflow.  

Hello,
I would like to use the new Export As workflows in a Javascript script but I don't find the javascript objects that I could use.

I would like to script the following actions:
- click on export > export As
- select PNG format
- select "Transparency"
- select "Smaller File (8 bit)
- set image size
- set canvas size
- select "no metadata"
- finally validate with "export all"

I prefer to use "Export as" over "save For Web" because it generates much smaller images and it allows me to set the canvas size which I cannot do with "Save for Web". "Export As" is also much faster than "Save for Web"

I've read the Photoshop CC 2015 Scripting Reference but didn't see anything about it.

The only export types for the exportDocument method seem to be ILLUSTRATORPATHS and SAVEFORWEB.

Do you know how I can achieve that ?

Thank you 

Totally agree. I've already posted about this issue, but those suggesting that we use Image Processor or Image Processor Pro are missing the point.

I was really excited by the new 'Export as...' function because it addressed the fact that web designers/developers now need to save the same photo at different sizes and resolutions, so that they work well on different screens and devices.

But in doing so they left out the ability to process more than one image with those size parameters – which is exactly what web designers need as they are often creating a number of images. (That ability was there in the previous version...)

What's worse is that the parameters are lost when you move on to the next image. So that even if you do this manually you have to input the sizes and resolutions that you need for every new image that you need to save...

As far as I can see, Image Processor only allows you save one size/resolution at a time, so it doesn't provide the same functionality as the new 'Export as...' function.

And when I try to install Image Processor Pro, as Joby above, I get the error 'This extension can not be installed, it requires Photoshop version 12 or greater.' Which is version CS5... And I obviously have CC2015...

At least Adobe are 'investigating supporting actions... in the future', but it hugely frustrating. Since the move to CC it seems like Adobe are just chucking stuff out randomly, but without really thinking about it, and chucking out stuff that is half-baked.

Image Processor is built into Ps itself, but the Pro version is a separate download since it's considered a non-necessary extension (i assume). 

It was an intentional omission by the team that developed the Export As feature. They're investigating supporting actions with Export As in the future. I've marked the topic as "In Progress."
