I am working on a PSD file and want to save a certain result as a JPG in the same folder where the PSD is. I have been working with this function for years now, I have originally created it as an action with a keystroke… and suddenly it doesn't work anymore. It now saves the file in the folder where I saved the last file  I was working on. I dont know why, and I cannot re-create it. I am desperate.

Please anybody … help

and thanx in advance already

I hadn’t tested the link in that thread, sorry it is broken.

if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
try {
var theName = myDocument.name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
var theSuffix = myDocument.name.match(/.\D{3}$/i);
var thePath = myDocument.path;
}
catch (e) {
var theName = myDocument.name;
var thePath = "~/Desktop"
};
// jpg options;
var jpgopts = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpgopts.embedProfile = true;
jpgopts.formatOptions =

Adobe broke all the links when the forum software was last updated.

 

If you know the topic title, you can search for the topic as the titles didn't break, just the link:

Please post a screenshot of the fully expanded Action in the Actions Panel. 

If you recorded the Path in the original Action then it would naturally be used when running the Action.

I threw out the old action since it didn't work anymore, and created a new one which I am attching here. I attach another screenshot from the Voreinstellungen>Dateienhandhabung> save as in ursprüngl Ordner. I don't know if that influences the action question.

 

Thank you

Hi,
I cannot make any sense from your last answer. When I click the link I get to someone who asked exactly my question. I scroll down the answers and arrive at this:
"Where actions have limitations, a script can usually achieve the desired result.
An action can record the location of an installed or browsed script and then execute the script as an action step.
Such a script can be found below, that way you only need one action, that will save into the source folder.
Action to save as Jpeg in origin image folder
Prepression: Downloading and Installing Adobe Scripts

And when I click the l“Action…“ linkI arrive at the Adobe Support Community start window
