Image Processor (or Pro) processing through sub-folders

Whether I run Image Processor or Image Processor Pro from Ps or Br it says it can't process folders.

Can anyone advise on how to create an action to enable it to open subfolders and run again repeatedly until all are done.

Here is a screenshot to illustrate what I have - A folder with several subfolders nested. I want to make jpegs from raw files.

Thank

The following seems to work -

Ps>File>Scripts>ImageProcessor and Select the folder (parent) + check the box to Include all sub-folders.

Or

Ps>File>Automate>ImageProcessorPro and Select the folder (parent) to process + check the box to include all sub-folders

(not sure if this will work from Br>Tools)

It seems too good to be true. Why was this not apparent before? What am I missing?

I haven't had my morning coffee yet so I may yet wake up with a bump:-)

It was assumed that was what you were originally doing and not getting the correct result.

Yes, I'm confused by it.
I'll practice with a few folders and see if it's consistent.

Not sure what's up, nor whether it'll work from Br

Just curious, have you tried using 'Show Items From Subfolders' in Bridge, then selecting all files and going to Tools > Photoshop > Batch or Image Processor?

I am hoping to keep the dated sub-folder structure.

So that the created jpegs from each sub-folder are nested under each.

Rather than all the files from all the sub-folders being lumped together

Just curious if the v1.5 script on this page processes all sub-folders for you?

If it does, then it could possibly be adapted...

That page doesn't make sense to me nor do I see a v1.5 script

There is script code at the bottom of page 4:

Batch Save As WebP scriptUI GUI v1-5.jsx

Instructions for saving and using custom script code here:

https://prepression.blogspot.com/2017/11/downloading-and-installing-adobe-scripts.html

The script can process all subdirectories under the selected root/top-level directory. There is also an option to recreate the source subdirectory structure in the nominated output folder.

Forget that it saves WebP files for now, I'm just trying to see if you also have issues with the recursive processing in this script.

Have you tried File > Automate > Batch?

Yes, but unsuccessfully so far.
It didn’t process all the sub folders.

I created an action for image processor to run
