how can I link the filename to the visible layer?

[Сергій Марищук]

I am using "Actions" to apply patches to the posters. Each poster must have the same title + _language

 

I have to save the JPG in a separate folder every time, and then rename and move it to the same folder

I am using "Actions" to apply patches add badges to the posters.

• To Automate that you would need to use Photoshop Scripting. Actions can not use logic to generate file name for savings from layer names. if all your poster documents have the same structure you could likely script a batch processor that save file with names like Poster Name - Layer Name .

with(activeDocument) saveAs(File(path + '/' + name
.replace(/(?=\.\w{3}$)/, '_' + activeLayer.name)))

Are any of the replies so far helpful/correct?

Does it solve your problem?

[Bojan Živković]

Perhaps you can solve problem by using Window > Layer Comps but that option is requiring additional work to create layer comps although and that can be automated what depends on what exactly you need and whether group names are always the same.

If provided script works for you then you do not have many reasons to think about layer comps and File > Export > Layer Comps to Files.
