Problem with the Save As function when used in an Action since update 21.1

Is there a confirmation on this fix yet?

I have 2 actions that resize and save my files onto a server that no longer seem to be functioning properly.

My workflow is:

edit --> save psd locally --> save a full sized jpg on the server --> save a resized jpg on the server.

I have actions to run the two jpg saves so they automatically get saved in the location on the server that I want them and in the case of the second action it resizes appropriately.

After years of these actions working suddenly today I get an error:

I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. I've restarted a number of times, to no avail.

It seems notable to me that in the error it implies that it's trying to save as the file location with the file name (i.e. \AG-SERVER\...\142548_1.jpg instead of just 142548_1.jpg) . I have tried re-recording the action and it worked while recording it but when I play it I run into the same error.

I am running photoshop 2020 v 21.1 on windows 10. And windows security\ windows defender is off

Any help greatly appreciated.

after launching the action writes: "file is not find"

PS 2019/win 7

action signuter+save as jpeg

Since 21.1, the save as function in Actions only works once. Next Save As in the Action leads to an error and stops the Action and the batch

Please solve and mention it in the release notes !

After updating to 10.15.3 exporting from lightroom into an action that saves and closes the image (the save is built into the action itself as I'm saving these files as PSBs) as well as when I'm dragging and dropping a batch onto a droplet that does the same thing, Photoshop crashes on the second image. I've uninstalled and reinstalled PS as well as the whole CC suite and launcher and I still run into the issue. The only work around I've come up with is removing the save prompt from the action and letting them hang open after I batch process through the droplet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've been banging my head against this wall for a while now.

Hi,

I run the latest photoshop cc 21.1.0 20200212.r.106 2020/02/12: 4dd027efb58 x64. 

After the last update, whenever I try to save *.psd or *.jpg in actions I get the message: 

"Could not save 'file name' becasue the file name was not valid/ 

These actions worked for years without any problem. 

I restarted my computer, I re-installed photoshop - nothing helps. 

It is very important in my workflow. 

What am I missing?

Is it a known bug of the new update?

Thanks,

Alon

Hi, after updating to 21.1 a simple action that I created is not working anymore, 
I delete it and re-created again and still not working, this action is to save a copy in a different folder as a jpeg, the error says "Could not save a copy as (file name) because the file name was not valid", the same image same file name can be save manually with no problems, I have been using this action for years with the same kind of name format, so, what can be wrong on this new version? Thanks.

Personally, i never like using Save in an Action and i know this doesn't solve your problem, but have you ever tried using Batch or Image Processor to run this script? You can drop the Save portion of the action, then use either of those tools for the Save.

I can't make out the error message in the screenshot.
