Inserted menu item ‘Save as’ in action, opens different folder

  • May 19, 2024

When I do a manual 'save as' , the dialogue box opens to where the psd was originally opened from as expected.. 

however , when I run an action containing the step 'save as' (as an inserted menu item) , it opens the last folder used ..

Ive tried all the usual resetting pref etc , and both 'save to original file' and 'legacy save' are both checked .. 

i just don't understand why ctrl+sh+s should behave differently to the 'save as' step in an action ?

    I can't reproduce this result. I tested on an Intel Mac with Ps 25.7.0, File Handling Prefs set to "Save As to Original Folder" and "Legacy Save As" and got the same result from manually running Save As vs. Save As inserted into an action. If the open file has a backing path (i.e. has been previously saved), the default Save As location is to the same directory as the open file for both methods. EDIT: For a new unsaved file, the last Save As location in that session is remembered.

      The only other option that I can think of would be to use a "helper script" to replace this action step, which would require the script to be available on all installations. Happy to help with the scripted step if this would help.

      Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Actions, Options Bar, …) visible and the Action fully expanded?

        Hey thanks , but there's nothing of interest to show in a screenshot everything normal and the save action doesn't expand as it's a menu command inserted (I have it at the start of every print action as I want to save the psd in case ps crashes on print , which is another issue in another thread 😆 )
