Save RAW as JPG in original folder script

In many ways, this is similar to a different forum topic that I answered this morning…

Setup an Adobe Camera Raw preset using appropriate settings for auto processing a batch of images.

Go into Bridge and use the Edit > Find command similar to the image below:

Search at the parent top level folder and include all sub-folders, which will effectively strip away the folders and only show the contents of the folders. You can of course chain together multiple criteria – or work in smaller groups of folders or images.

Select all of the images in Bridge that are returned by the Find command or smart collection.

Then use Bridge’s Edit > Develop Settings command to apply your previously create batch preset to all selected files.

No images need to be opened into Adobe Camera Raw or even Photoshop, the metadata is applied directly to the ACR database or XMP sidecar files. As all you are doing is adding metadata to the selected files, this will only take a fraction of a second per file.

You can then run Image Processor Pro from Bridge to create the subfolders and rendered files as required.

If you open a two document. with the documents open you can record an action that you use the Image Processor Pro plug-in in. While recording the Action you can set the image processor pro dialog to process the current document or all open documents. The setting you set will be recorded into the action step by the plug-in.  When the Action is used the plug-in will bypass displaying its dialog and use the settings recorded into the action step. The step is also a bit strange when you look at it in the action in the actions palette it will look empty.

One the Action is recorded you can creat your droplett.   I do not know how droplets work. I would guess one document at a time. So I would first try recording the Action step to process the current document.
