How to batch automate a batch automation

Hi guys, i have searched and read lots of articles about batch automation but i can't find the solution for my problem. My goal is to create a picture of tshirt mockup (in jpg) from 2 files: a design (in png) and a tshirt mockup (in psd with smart objects to replace the design in). I have 100 designs and 100 mockups. I've already been able to set up an ation that automatically adds 100 designs to a mockup and then process 100 jpg pictures. But for examble i have 100 mockups and i want to add 100 designs to 100 mockups. Even with action when i'm doing the batch automation, i have to wait until the batch ends 100 designs to mockup no.1, and then manually open mockup no.2 then batch again, open mockup no.3,.... It takes a lot of time, is there any way to automate the open of 100 mockups, i will appreciate it? Thank you

    You would most like have to use Photoshop scripting for a process like that.  You would point the script to your folder of design and to you folder of mockups. and to an output folder.  The script would process the mocks folder. Each mockup would be processed one at a time populated  with your design in you design folder. After a design is populated an populated t-shirt  would be saved to the output folder. before the next design is populated.   When all design have been populated and saved the script would move one to the next mockup in the mockup folder and that mockup would be populated with you designs and t-shirts save out.   When the last mockup has been processes the script will end.  You will have 10,000 t-shirt image in your output folder and should have been able to down a few bottles of wine.  Creating 10,000 t-shirt each having a image file placed into  is going to take quite a long time.  What do you plane to do with 10,000 t-shirt images?

      Thank you so much, i think i will learn about script because i don't have experience in script, but you solved my problem. I plan to create images for products on my ecommerce store, but when i have more designs, i takes a lot of time.
