var saveDialog = new ActionDescriptor();
saveDialog.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("saveAs"), true);
saveDialog.putString(stringIDToTypeID("as"), "TIFF");
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("save"), saveDialog, DialogModes.ALL);

I need help, is it possible to open the save as dialog in a predefined folder? i have a variable directoryPath with the path in which save as should open. but i have not found a working solution 😞 can anyone help me 🙏

Actions and scripting

Correct answer r-bin

Thank you very much! But unfortunately that doesn't work either 😞

How so? Both work for me when I change ~/Desktop to say ~/Documents.

As @Lumigraphics wrote, this can be done with standard DOM code which is more accessible as you will find more examples and people who know DOM vs AM coding.

In Dialog Modes.ALL neither the script nor the similar Action works for me. I think it can't be fixed, because the bug is 100 years old, at least for Windows

UPD.

But it could be done like this https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/is-it-possible-to-save-png-file-without-png-format-option-dialogue/m-p/14539586#M798683

Why use AM code for this? What you want can be done with regular ScriptUI.

do you have an example for me? I want to save a tif to a defined Path with all dialogs and not as a copy.

I'm not very good with AM code.

Here is the raw SL recording:

var idsave = stringIDToTypeID( "save" );
    var desc9 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idas = stringIDToTypeID( "as" );
        var desc10 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idbyteOrder = stringIDToTypeID( "byteOrder" );
        var idplatform = stringIDToTypeID( "platform" );
        var idIBMPC = stringIDToTypeID( "IBMPC" );
        desc10.putEnumerated( idbyteOrder, idplatform, idIBMPC );
        var idsaveTransparency = stringIDToTypeID( "saveTransparency" );
        desc10.putBoolean( idsaveTransparency, true );
    var idTIFF = stringIDToTypeID( "TIFF" );
    desc9.putObject( idas, idTIFF, desc10 );
    var idin = stringIDToTypeID( "in" );
    desc9.putPath( idin, new File( "~/Documents/myFile.tif" ) );
    var iddocumentID = stringIDToTypeID( "documentID" );
    desc9.putInteger( iddocumentID, 862 );
    var idlowerCase = stringIDToTypeID( "lowerCase" );
    desc9.putBoolean( idlowerCase, true );
    var idsaveStage = stringIDToTypeID( "saveStage" );
    var idsaveStageType = stringIDToTypeID( "saveStageType" );
    var idsaveSucceeded = stringIDToTypeID( "saveSucceeded" );
    desc9.putEnumerated( idsaveStage, idsaveStageType, idsaveSucceeded );
executeAction(idsave, desc9, DialogModes.NO);

I started hacking at it:

var desc9 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idas = stringIDToTypeID("as");
desc9.putPath(stringIDToTypeID("in"), new File("~/Documents/"));
var idlowerCase = stringIDToTypeID("lowerCase");
desc9.putBoolean(idlowerCase, true);
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("save"), desc9, DialogModes.ALL);

Hope this helps!
