One-click 'Save as jpeg' shortcut script please! - saved in the same folder

Hi Adam,

The next code work as described under PS CS6 Win 10

It duplicates the flattend file instead of saveAs. When layers are active Saveas to JPG will not work.

create an action with a keyboard shortcut onto this script.

--- copy below and paste in a jsx file --

var  sAlertDocumentNotOpen = "No open document !";

var jpgQuality = 10;

main();

function main() {          

        if ( app.documents.length <= 0 ) {

                alert( sAlertDocumentNotOpen  );

                return 'cancel'; // quit, returning 'cancel' (dont localize)

        }

        var fileName = app.activeDocument.fullName.toString().slice( 0, -4 );  // copy the name of the document  without the extension ( .psd assumed )

        var jpgDoc = app.activeDocument.duplicate( "JPGFILE", true );       // duplicate with merged layers

        fileName = getNewFileName( fileName );        

        saveFile( jpgDoc, fileName );

        return true;

}

function saveFile( docRef, fileName ) {

            docRef.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;           

            var saveFile = new File( fileName );

            jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();

            jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;

            jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpgQuality;

            docRef.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);

            docRef.close( SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES );  

            return true;

}           

function pad(num, size) {

    var s = "000" + num;

    return s.substr(s.length-size);

}

function getNewFileName( fileName ) {

    var num = 1;

    fileName = fileName + "-";

    while  ( File(   fileName  +  pad(num,4) + ".jpg" ).exists )  {

        num = num +1;       

    }

    return fileName  + pad(num,4) + ".jpg";

}

// best regards: Willem

Thanks, it works but is there a way to make it selective? Like you said, if it saves EVERYTHING with a .jpeg my disk isn't going to last!

I tried adding an Action that turns on the 'script events manager', saves the file, then turns if off, so I could map it to a button and that would run. Problem is, the Action only brings up the 'script event manager', it doesn't tick the box and press 'Done' like when I recorded it...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Adam
