Question

Action for saving scripts to a folder

We need to create an action in Photoshop CS5 on Windows 7. The action is simply, it just needs to save a file to a particular folder on a file server, then close the file. This script will need to be able to given to several people in the building, all using Windows and with the file server mapps to the same drive (X).

Yet when I try to record this script, it wants to save the file with the filename. How can we avoid this, i.e. just create a script that saves a file in a folder, without saving it with the name of the file that was used to record the script?

Saving to a file server is not supported, it would be better to save the  file to a temp location then copy it to the server, if successful remove the temp file.

That's funny, because it worked just fine before, but now that we've gotten a new server, the path is different, though the drive letter is the same.


Shouldn't there be a way to do this, especially since it worked before?

That is exactly why Adobe do not support saving to servers as there can be numerous set-up problems that are out of their control.
