How to make actions default to the original path of the image (automatically updated path) in Photos

How to make actions default to the original path of the image (automatically updated path) in Photoshop 2024?

I remember Photoshop CS6 is saved to the original path by default.

Starting from PS 2022, for example:

The path you recorded is 😧 \ a1 \ aa.jpg

 

When you use the previous action in 😧 \ b1 \ bb.jpg, the result will also be saved in 😧 \ a1\

This is not the result I want, I need to automatically update the storage path to the path where the original image is located (D: \ b1 \).

Can you post a screenshot of your Actions panel with all relevant open/save action steps expanded/visible?

You might need a script.

 

Actions either record saving a file using an absolute path + file name or only an absolute path.

 

The File > Automate > Batch command can override recorded file paths and names.
