Dear everyone.

I want to limit file size after save for web. I have this code:

 

//SaveforWebSP.jsx
//Save a fixed width image with a size constraint in its original folder

var docRef = activeDocument;
var outputFolder = docRef.path;

NamesaveRef = new File( outputFolder + "/reference.jpg" );
var NewfileRef = new File( NamesaveRef )

// quality/size constraints
var w = 300; // new file width
var MaxSz =  61440; // max. 60Kb
var Qlt = 100; // initial quality 100
var x = 1; // decreasing step

// resize the image to the right width
docRef.resizeImage(UnitValue(w,"px"),null,100,ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER);

// Perform the first SaveForWeb Operation
ExpWeb(NewfileRef, Qlt);

// Keep trying to save the file with max. Qlt, but under MaxSz   
while (NewfileRef.length > MaxSz)
{
      Qlt = Qlt - x;
      NewfileRef = new File( NewfileRef );  
      NewfileRef.remove();
      ExpWeb(NewfileRef, Qlt);  // Perform a new SaveForWeb Operation, with slightly lower Qlt
         if (Qlt <= 50) {
           alert("The file can't be saved with the desired size AND quality.");
           break  // break the loop whenever the quality is as low as 50 (this shouldn't need to happen)
         }
}

var FileSz = NewfileRef.length/1024;
FileSz = Math.round(FileSz);

// close the original file without saving
activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

// SaveForWeb Export, with the desired constraints and parameters
function ExpWeb(FileNm, Qlt)
{
      var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
      options.quality = Qlt;   // Start with highest quality (biggest file).
      options.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;   // Save Format for the file
      docRef.exportDocument(File(FileNm), ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, options);
}

 

The Problem is when I automate with multiple file size, all new files are overwritten with the name "reference.jpg".

Please help me modify this code. Thank you

@An28289043i2fn – try the following minor edit:

 

//SaveforWebSP.jsx
//Save a fixed width image with a size constraint in its original folder
var docRef = activeDocument;
var docRefName = docRef.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
var outputFolder = docRef.path;
NamesaveRef = new File( outputFolder + "/" + docRefName + ".jpg" );
var NewfileRef = new File( NamesaveRef )
// quality/size constraints
var w = 300; // new file width
var MaxSz =  61440; // max. 60Kb
var Qlt = 100; // initial quality 100

I think it is better when new files keep their original names, then I can save them in different folders.
