Hello:
Searching hasn't found this needed workflow.
Not sure this is the most efficient as it's legacy, but I use Save for Web to output needed images daily. I'd like the "save as" dialog to include month & day followed by and underscore
(ex. 0611_) already included in the file name. It would output a JPG, Quality 50%, Optimized, Convert to sRGB.
Not sure this is possible, but would appreciate any help/direction given.
Thanks!
I like how this script is coming together, it is giving me the opportunity to implement some new ideas. This 1.4 version is back to a single script, there is no need for a two part script.
Hold down SHIFT when running the script to set the save location to the preference file.
Run the script WITHOUT shift to save to the location saved in the preference file.
There is now an error check if the preference file exists (it does not check if the content is valid). I have noticed that if one cancels the script while selecting the file path, it will leave the content of the preference file blank and or remove the previous file path.

Save for Web with Month & Day Script?
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/save-for-web-with-month-amp-day-script/td-p/12108287
Features:
* Run the script with the shift key depressed to set the save path to the preference file
* Run the script without the shift key depressed to save the JPEG file
* Previous save location written/read from a custom preference text file '_MMDD_Pref-File.txt' in the user home folder
* Check for overwriting an existing JPEG file, validation requires that the file name contains spaces, not hyphens
* Conditional conversion to sRGB ICC profile
* Removal of photoshop:DocumentAncestors metadata that may build up and bloat the template
* NOTE: JPEG Quality value = 50%
