Thanks Stephen A Marsh,
I would like to bring below points for your information.
- Xbytor's CSX-2_2 works on one image at a time and close the same after script process before opening next document. and the script flatten all the layer's before saving and then closing the image as I am using below output parameters while running script.
- I had attache below screenshot for your better understanding of how script runs in my PC
1. input files folder (I have taken only 4 files for exmple, and source folder may contain subfolders also)
2. Output folder view ( here source folder/subfolder structure doesn't matter, but need to retain source file name.)
3. screenshot taken while running script
- Script opens new docs as per next serial no (i.e 0001, 0002, 0003 ans so on)
- then create caption layer and and fill source file name only (%f) as i have selected option of caption without file extention.
- then again script creates layer1 to fill source image (script swiftly fills the source image into layer1 and then save and close the images into output folders, so i was unable to take the screenshot of the same.)
hope my above explaination will help you understand the issue (just re-iterating , want to save contactsheet with the same name as source file name) in a better way and my screenshots are clear enough to check.
Thanks, once the script has finished processing, there is a text layer named after the source file.
In this example, the input file was named Portrait.jpg and here is how the layers look:
Although CSX2.2 has created a new document titled sheet_0001 – a "helper" script can be written to use the text layer name to save the file using that layer name, so the end result would be a saved file named "Portrait.jpg" in this example.
All I need is answers to the following:
* Save location, a fixed location hard-coded into the script (i.e. Desktop) or a prompt asking you to set the save directory
* Save As A Copy or Export/Save for Web (Legacy) JPEG format
* Quality level and other format options (Baseline standard etc)

Edit: These are the output settings in CSX that work with this "helper script":
OK, I believe that I have a new workable solution!
All you need to do is add a single line of code to the script.
Search for the 3rd, final entry of:
layer.name = lname;
This should be at line 27152...
After this, add the following additional single line of code and save the script:
activeDocument.info.title = lname.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
Now you can just save the contact sheets directly as JPEG files, it doesn't matter that the filename is incorrect.
Finally using Adobe Bridge, select all of the contact sheet files and use Tools > Batch Rename...
Rename the files using the Title metadata as per this screenshot:
