when I record an action: open PSD, save as PNG, close

then run it in batch, it still saves the files as PSD

it seems like it doesn't record the "save as png" action

any ideas?

Problem or error

When I want to create a new action, nothing is saved.This operation was called scrip in the past, it worked very well, thank you for fixing this bug and helping me.
Admit that there is a problem and you cannot solve it.
Looking forward to reading you,

When I create an action, it is not registered.
I’ve talked to a few friends about it, they all have the same concern.
I called your services several times, they are unable to solve the problem.
I need to convert PSD files into PNG file at 400x40 PX for my site.
Actions are essential to me.
Thank you for resolving this bug as soon as possible.

I'm also having this problem. =( Saved a "save copy as PNG" recording three different times. Finally caught the script saving once as a PNG, then overwriting the new files as PSDs again somehow. It was super bizarre. "Include subfolders" was specifically turned off during the batch action.

Have not found a resolution yet.

"Finally caught the script saving once as a PNG, then overwriting the new files as PSDs again somehow. "

This is strange because PSD should not overwrite PNG file. You can overwrite PNG but not using file with PSD extension. Something else is going on there. Can you post screenshot of batch dialogue and action expanded so we can see action steps?

Tested with Photoshop 21.2.4 on Win.

Everything works fine. We need more info like action steps and configuration in Batch dialogue although that should be easy to set up, just check Override Action Save As command.

here are exported files in my batch, just as expected
