Hello everyone ,   I have no knowledge of scripting just wondering if any of you can help.  

I am wanting to create an action that will DUPLICATE the image then FLATTEN then rename the file to {FILENAME}-whatever I want   (before saving )   i want the tab on the top of photoshop to say {FILENAME} -whatever I want ... 

I have no idea how to do the renaming?   can I rename files in photoshop like in Bridge or LR?

Here you go, try this code:

#target photoshop
// Dupe Original File with -Suffix.jsx
var origDoc = app.activeDocument
var baseName = origDoc.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
var sep = String ("-");
var suffix = prompt("Enter Suffix:", "Suffix");
var dupeName = baseName + sep + suffix;
origDoc.duplicate((dupeName), true);
// Optional Step: remove the // comment characters to enable
origDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); // (SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES)

Copy the 10 lines of code above, paste into a plain text editor (not a word processor), then save the plain text file with a .jsx extension, ensuring that it only has .jsx and NOT a double extension such as .jsx.txt

Then drop the file into your application/program folder for Photoshop/Presets/Scripts and restart Photoshop.

    Apologies, remove lines 9 & 10 from my previous post or change line 10 to include the double forward // comment slashes to disable the code:

    // origDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); // (SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES)

    Ok, so this is what I got :   ..... can we make some changes. please ( I really appreciate your help on this! Thank so much Stephen)!   .... on the dialog can we make it say "Enter Filename"     also ,  (see image)  can we get rid of the word "copy"

    1 more thing.... I couldnt find the path to put the file in .... I had to do this via the browse diaglog   .  what is the location ?

    I'm slightly confused...

    Lets say you have a file:

    originalFILEname.psd

    The script will dupe/flatten and rename, should the result be:

    originalFILEname-Suffix

    or

    originalFILEname- Suffix

    or

    originalFILEname - Suffix

    or

    {originalFILEname}-Suffix

    etc?

    Can you please provide more detailed info?

    Are you Mac or Win based?

    I'm on Windows 10.

    Where is the rename script?

    If I use IMAGE > DUPLICATE it will add copy at the end of it. If I change

    it then when I run the action it will apply same name to each file. Which

    is not what I want.

    A rename script will need to be written for your exact requirements, which is why answering specific questions is required if somebody is going to help, without wasting time.

    Otherwise search the scripting forum and see what you come up with yourself and then the forum can help refine the existing code, however, the forum will still need to know specifics.

    Will the suffix be fixed or do you need to type in a new variable suffix each time?
