Question

Photoshop CS 4 droplet gives a prefix "For Any File" to every file (photo) processed - Why?

Hello, I finally managed to re create a droplet that works properly. (My old ones would not work or could not connect with photoshop after changing P C etc. 
But now I managed to create one that works very well apart the fact it ads a prefix "For Any File" to each of my files Processed!

ie: For any fileIMG20231021202029012021224.JPG 

I made it red to be clearer, what follows it is the actual name of the file.

When creating a droplet (Which I don't feel too confident about it)  My main problem seems to be when I get to the panel "File Name" . It has 10 fields  and I find it confusing with what I should write on them or select. 
So I also pick something from the drop down list. 
I though I got it right when writing a relevant situation ie: October 24 holiday.  Then an order like 3 digits, then picked EXTENSION... And other selections, but you can see my file apart from the prefix has none of them?

The tutorials I looked at did not seem to expand much towards it. So I hope someone can put me on the right track. Thank you in advance .

What version of Windows are you using?

 

Can you post a screenshot(s) of the Create Droplet dialog and action your using for the droplet?

I'm a little confused as I can't see your last reply here. 
I seem to understand that you were expecting my droplet to be like the action I sent. 
But this is the action I used to create a droplet out of it....
