OK… I had a very quick chop about with your code… Try this and see how you get on…
...#target photoshop
var picSourcePath = Folder( Folder.desktop + '/Originale' );
var picTargetPath = Folder( Folder.desktop + '/Ausgang' );
var maxSize = 234; // max width and height
var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
var startTypeUnits = app.preferences.typeUnits;
var startDisplayDialogs = app.displayDialogs;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
app.preferences.typeUnits = TypeUnits.PIXELS;
app.displayDi

I totally agree with you, but that is not the point.
What I need to do with the script is to shrink down print quality images of all kinds of sizes and file types (vector eps, pixel eps, tif, jpg...) to web quality jpgs of fixed measurements AND a file size of 100kB max. each. Please don't question my motives, just accept them like I have to do also 
I didn't define the requirements, I just need to find a way to make this possible. Image Processor Pro won't help as there is just an option to define image quality for save for web, but not the output file size.
As I wrote with the Image Processor pro script you can do want 90%+ of your image will be exactly what you want. A small present that have a tremendous amount of detail may save a little over the 100kb size you want. You could then open those over 100kb in Photoshop and save them at a lower quality. You are not saving layered file with vectors etc for the web you are saving Jpeg, Png or Gif.

Thanks, Tom.
I created a jsx file with the following content:
#target photoshop
// Version 2017.6.12
// Given a max size, reduce the quality of the jpeg
// until it is small enough
var maxSize = 1024 * 1024;
var smallEnough = false;
var tries = 1;
var q = 12;
var f = new File('/d/Testout/1meg.jpg');
if (f.exists)
f.remove();
if (f.exists)
throw('what!');
while ( ! smallEnough && q ) {
smallEnough = SaveFile(f, maxSize, q);
q--;
}
SaveFileAll([f.parent + "/", f.name.split(".")[0], "." + f.name.split(".")[1]]);
'DONE ' + q;
function SaveFile(inFile, inMaxSize, inQ) {
var smallEnough = false;
var idsave = stringIDToTypeID( "save" );
var desc78 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idas = stringIDToTypeID( "as" );
var desc79 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idextendedQuality = stringIDToTypeID( "extendedQuality" );
desc79.putInteger( idextendedQuality, inQ );
var idmatteColor = stringIDToTypeID( "matteColor" );
var idmatteColor = stringIDToTypeID( "matteColor" );
var idnone = stringIDToTypeID( "none" );
desc79.putEnumerated( idmatteColor, idmatteColor, idnone );
var idJPEG = stringIDToTypeID( "JPEG" );
desc78.putObject( idas, idJPEG, desc79 );
var idin = stringIDToTypeID( "in" );
desc78.putPath( idin, inFile );
var idcopy = stringIDToTypeID( "copy" );
desc78.putBoolean( idcopy, true );
executeAction( idsave, desc78, DialogModes.NO );
// there is inFile.length but it is wrong on windows 7
if ( inFile.open('r') ) {
var a = inFile.read();
inFile.close();
if (a.length <= inMaxSize)
smallEnough = true;
}
return smallEnough;
}
Running the file in Photoshop CS6 will lead to the following message:
Also, when I add the last part of your script it won't work:
// Another version that tries to save them all, call in the same loop above
// but pass in an array of dir, filename, fileExtension
function SaveFileAll(inF) {
for (var i = 1; i < 13; i++) {
var idsave = stringIDToTypeID( "save" );
var desc78 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idas = stringIDToTypeID( "as" );
var desc79 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idextendedQuality = stringIDToTypeID( "extendedQuality" );
desc79.putInteger( idextendedQuality, i );
var idmatteColor = stringIDToTypeID( "matteColor" );
var idmatteColor = stringIDToTypeID( "matteColor" );
var idnone = stringIDToTypeID( "none" );
desc79.putEnumerated( idmatteColor, idmatteColor, idnone );
var idJPEG = stringIDToTypeID( "JPEG" );
desc78.putObject( idas, idJPEG, desc79 );
var idin = stringIDToTypeID( "in" );
var f = new File( inF[0] + inF[1] + i + inF[2] );
desc78.putPath( idin, f );
var idcopy = stringIDToTypeID( "copy" );
desc78.putBoolean( idcopy, true );
executeAction( idsave, desc78, DialogModes.NO );
}
}
Where do I have to add ".flatten()"?
