Cs2 version of Export Layers to Files is different than CS4

[ChrisJoyce]

Can someone help me with an issue?

The Export Layers to Files (elf) from cs2 grabs the file directory and file name from the open file and defaults to that when exporting. This is desired.

Cs4's ELF only uses what was there the last time it was used and will overwrite existing files with no prompt. This has totally corked my workflow.

Is there a way to change the script to default similar to the old Cs2 ELF script?

Thanks, Chris

Not to sound obvious, but is there any reason that you can just use the

CS2 ELF script in CS4?

Well if you uninstall cs2, you lose the script. Without going into detail about what I went through with the CS3 install, the obvious answer is, yes that is what I am doing. The dialogue box is jumbled, it is definitely referencing something in the current version cs4 (or cs3 for that matter). I am trying to get a solution that will go forward. The script was totally rewritten for cs3 and it does not have the intelligence of the cs2 script. (ie, using the original documents PATH and FILENAME as a default. It is utterly ridiculous. I was hoping that this could be modified at the code (script) level to give the intelligence back to the script. Any help is appreciated.

this new forum does not give accurate details. I have been posting since 2003.

Does anyone have any experience with modifying the ELF script and who would shed some light on this matter?
