New File Naming Macros?

The actions can be very simple.  If fact mine are identical except for the setting recorded into the plug-in steps.  I wrote a script AspectRatioSelection based on Adobe Fit Image plug-in script design.  I use it, Image Crop and the Fit Image plug-in in my actions.  The SlideShow action uses two script.  One I wrote to empty my output folder and the other the recorded Image Processor Pro step which Photoshop Action Platte does not show what has been recorded.  I used Record again to show you in my previous append what was recorded.

The scrip I wrote to empty my output folder could be very destructive so I hard coded the folder that will be empties of files.
