Batch Action with "export layers to files" overrides files

New Here ,
Jun 17, 2023 Jun 17, 2023

Can anybody shed light onto what I'm doing wrong? I have an action in which I slice one images into multiple layers, and then "export layers to files" because I need each layer saved as it's own PNG file.

 

When I run it as a batch action, it just overrides the files over and over again, even if I select "override action save as commands" command and set that to a different folder & file naming conventions.

Can you post a screenshot of your File>Aultomate>Batch settings?

I'm going to hazard a guess that the script was never intended to be used in a batch action.

 

There are other simpler layer saving scripts that could be used in a batch action:

 

 
(The PNG save would need to be changed to JPEG in the example above)

 

Search the forum or web and see what you can find.
