Saveas in Actions

I have an action that saves multiple versions of an image.  I have the saveas command set to show the dialog so I can pick the folder to save the copy into.  In the version of Photoshop that changed the Saveas it changes the filename to the folder name shown in the Action.  It's a folder that doesn't exist anymore.  So the first time the file is named hires instead of the original file name and the second time it's called lowres.  It should keep the filename like it did prior to these changes.

Can you expand action and Save step then take screenshot and post here? And please post screenshot of Save As dialogue so we can see what goes wrong exactly, it is a bit confusing to me what is happening. Which version of Photoshop you are running? Save options did changed recently, have you tried with File Handling > Enable Legacy Save As?

Quick fix is to re-record Save step.

What is I:\ drive? Server, internal or external HDD or SSD etc?

 

Could you save to C:\ drive and override eye action step with the modal control as you are currently doing?

 

A scripted action step could overcome this issue.
