Ho to batch export folders in photoshop layers as CMYK

Question

I have a CMYK photoshop file with 150 folders within the layers palette. Each folder contains a cut out image layer, a coloured background layer and a retouched layer. Each of the 150 folders has a specific name.

I now want to batch exports all folders as indivual flattened files, which feels like a straight forward task. But... I can only seem to do this as RGB, by selecting all the folders and side click and select "Export as" or "Quick export". The colours are already set to a specific CMYK colour breakdown, so they cant be converted to RGB. Does anyone know of a way that I can batch export my folders as CMYK? I don't want to have to export 150 folders manually.

Thanks for any advice.

Take a look at the following scripts:

Even the default File > Export > Layers to Files script might suit, depending on your requirements.

Batch renaming the output files as a second pass may be required.

If one of the Scripts meets your needs please remember to mark the »Correct Answer«, otherwise please provide the layered file and a sample of the images you want to save off of that.
