Script to remove 'copy' from crop and straightened images.

I could rename afterwards using bridge or lupas rename which I have been doing but was hoping there was a way to script it in the action.

By @Joseph Brown

After the Action step for Crop and Straighten Photos, record the following script into the Action:

/*

#target photoshop

// CHECK FOR OPEN DOCS
if (documents.length) {
    removeCopy();
    // WHY?
    removeCopy();
    // END OF SCRIPT
    app.beep();

// ALERT IF NO DOCS OPEN
} else {
    alert('You must have a document open!');
}

function removeCopy() {
    try {
        // IGNORE SAVED FILES
        app.activeDocument.path;
    } catch (e) {
        // LOOP OVER OPEN UNSAVED DOCS
        for (var i = 0; i < documents.length; i++) {
            activeDocument = documents[i];
            // PROCESS DOCS WITHOUT A FILENAME EXTENSION
            if (/\.[^\.]+$/i.test(activeDocument.name)) {} else {
                // PROCESS DOCS CONTAINING ' copy'
                if (activeDocument.name.match(/ copy/)) {
                    var origDoc = activeDocument;
                    var docName = origDoc.name.replace(/ copy/, '');
                    origDoc.duplicate(docName, false);
                    origDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

1. Copy the code text to the clipboard
2. Open a new blank file in a plain-text editor (not in a word processor)
3. Paste the code in
4. Save the text file as .txt
5. Rename the file extension from .txt to .jsx
6. Install or browse to the .jsx file to run (see below)
