Using actions in Illustrator to quickly export to jpgs but in the source folder

[andi_9114]

I export Illustrator files a lot through the day to jpgs using the export option. I set up an action so it would so:

Export > jpgs settings > close file

The option that is messing up is I need it to export to the same folder as the Illustrator file on my server. Whenm I select the same file all other files only epxport to that same folder rather than the source. For obvious resons as I am setting that folder as the place to save to when I set up the actions.

Any way to insist on the source folder rather than an eactual folder that will need to change each time.

@andi_9114 Honestly, I would think you are better off in creating a folder within the source folder. Prevents accidentally overwriting your files. But, if you totally wanting to do what you want to do, it's going to be scripting then)
