Batch crop single file using actions?

I have found how to work with batch actions, but I currently cannot seem to find anything about how I would for example make a whole sequence of crops that use the batch function to save everytime a crop is made and then create the files the way batch works and numbers them. Anyone any idea how to do this?

There is a feature in export settings where you can replace the .png format with . jpg, but when using large file formats the saving can be slow enough that when you open the crop tool to move on to your next crop the previous or ongoing corp or crops are aborted.

If the images are all the same size and the crop is the same size and position, then one can crop from a selection with the Image > Crop command.

The problem is I need to crop an image upto and sometimes over 100 times, I have been putting off doing multiple at once, but the batch tool overwrites the files and does not numerically add to them

If you have recorded a Save As step in the Action including a filename, then the Batch command has to have the Override action save as checkbox ticked so that filenames don't clash.
