File saving in Batch Action

Question

Since the latest 21.1 update I can no longer successfully run an Action for processing batches of photos and saving them into multiple locations. after the first successful Save As, the second one to a separate location stops the Action with the error message "Won't save file as filename is not valid".

I have tried reinstalling 21.1 without any change. Previous versions ran the Action with no problems. The file names are valid and a simple Save As on an individual basis works as it should. I have temporarily reinstalled 21.03 as a solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Rob

The latest update 21.1.1 has resolved the issue and all my actions now work as they used to!

If you didn't "downgrade", then the only options I am aware of are as follows...

You can record Image Processor Pro into an action step. Even though it is designed to batch process, it can be used just to save a single image step in an action (it will record as a blank step, but it does/should work fine).

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ps-scripts/files/Image%20Processor%20Pro/v3_2%20betas/

Another option is to replace the save/save as step with a script, the community would just need to know the file format settings and save location in order to code the save.
