Photos in the folder disappeared when I use Batch option in photoshop

Photos in the folder disappeared when I use Batch Option in Photoshop. SAME ISSUE

June 16, 2024 Photoshop CC

I opened hundreds of images from one folder, then batched them with an action ending with save to: the designated folder as I've always done. This is part of my workflow and has worked like this for years.

To be clear, this is opening images from one folder, then designating another folder for them to save-to as they are batch processed.

I'm amazed that his is the only report I've found about this issue.

This isn't overwriting original files, it's creating new files after processing and saving into a new designated folder.

I went to organize the files in the new folder.

The folder is there.

There are no images at all in the designated folder.

Photoshop opened all files as always.

Selected Automate, and selected the action as well as the save to designated folder.

The program performed as always, processing and saving every single image until all were done.

After this batch processing function, I went to pull newly altered files from the designated folder to find no images at all.

No alerts, no notifications from the Photoshop App.

Still searching for a solution for this problem. 

Windows 11, Photoshop CC

Batch Processing JPEG images

Option 2. But I have been doing this for several years. So far so good. Yes, as you told couuld explain why.

No worries mate. Happy to try and help.

When you save for web...
1. Does the new file get a new dynamic name each time? Or
2. Does the new file get saved every time with the same name?

If it's option 2, this would explain why you only have one file in the destination folder.

Thanks Michael for your response. I have kept more than 50 photos in the source folder. And I have created empty destination folder. I have defined the action (1. image resize 2. save for web 3. close the current file 4. save no 5. end the action). Then I ran the batch processing. When I ran the action it was executed only once, then I checked the source folder no images left over there. I could see only one image in the destination folder. 

Could it be that your Batch process simply overwrote the same file every time it made a save?

Could you post more details about the Batch process itself?
