macOS Catalina really messed up my workflow with Save for Web, so I put together three scripts to be able to use it as fast as possible.
You can edit the folder path in code (to use a default folder), save them as 'Fast Save.js' (or any name you like) to Applications > Photoshop > Preset > Scripts, and use them via File > Scripts menu.
First one is Fast Save, it prompts for a file name, and saves for web in your 'default' folder. It overwrites without a prompt, so be careful!
// Fast Save
//Save for Web Options
var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;
sfwOptions.includeProfile = false;
sfwOptions.interlaced = false;
sfwOptions.optimized = true;
sfwOptions.quality = 90;
// Folder
var saveFolder = new Folder('~/Desktop');
// Extension
var saveExt = 'jpg';
// Ask for name
var docName = prompt("File name", "");
// Save file
var saveFile = new File( saveFolder + '/' + docName + '.' + saveExt );
// Save for Web
activeDocument.exportDocument( saveFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions );
Second one is Quick Save, it prompts for a file name, and saves to your default folder with incremental suffix (filename_001.jpg)
// Quick Save
// Folder
var saveFolder = new Folder('~/Desktop');
// Suffix
var saveSufixStart = '_';
var saveSufixLength = 3;
// Extension
var saveExt = 'jpg';
// Save for Web Options
var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;
sfwOptions.includeProfile = false;
sfwOptions.interlaced = false;
sfwOptions.optimized = true;
sfwOptions.quality = 90;
// Zero(s) Function
function zeroPad ( num, digit ){
var tmp = num.toString();
while (tmp.length < digit) { tmp = "0" + tmp;}
return tmp;
}
// Ask for File Name
var docName = prompt("File name", "Default");
// Check other files with same name, and increment
docName = docName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) ? docName = docName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) : docName = [ docName, docName, undefined ];
var saveName = docName[ 1 ]; // activeDocument name with out ext
var files = saveFolder.getFiles( saveName + '*.' + saveExt );// get an array of files matching doc name prefix
if( files.length == 0 ) { // no file with that name so start at one
var saveNumber = 1;
}
if( files.length == 1 ) { // one file found, see if it has a sufix
var fileName = decodeURI ( files[ 0 ].name );
fileName = fileName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) ? fileName = fileName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) : fileName = [ fileName, fileName, undefined ];
if( fileName[1].match( /_(\d{3})$/ ) == null ){
var saveNumber = 1;// does not have sufix so set to one
} else{// has sufix
var saveNumber = parseInt( fileName[ 1 ].match( /_(\d{3})$/ )[1] ,10) + 1; // strip the ext and get the sufix , convert to number and add 1
}
}
if( files.length > 1 ){
files.sort();
var fileName = decodeURI ( files[ files.length -1 ].name );
fileName = fileName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) ? fileName = fileName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) : fileName = [ fileName, fileName, undefined ];
var saveNumber = parseInt( fileName[ 1 ].match( /_(\d{3})$/ )[1] ,10) + 1; // strip the ext and get the sufix , convert to number and add 1
}
// File Name
var saveFile = new File( saveFolder + '/' + saveName + '_' + zeroPad( saveNumber, saveSufixLength ) + '.' + saveExt );
// Save for Web
activeDocument.exportDocument( saveFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions );
and the last one, Quicker Save, uses a default file name (or uncomment line 33 to use the original filename) and saves for web to your default folder incrementally.
// Quicker Save
// Folder
var saveFolder = new Folder('~/Desktop');
// Suffix
var saveSufixStart = '_';
var saveSufixLength = 3;
// Extension
var saveExt = 'jpg';
// Save for Web Options
var sfwOptions = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
sfwOptions.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;
sfwOptions.includeProfile = false;
sfwOptions.interlaced = false;
sfwOptions.optimized = true;
sfwOptions.quality = 90;
// Zero(s) Function
function zeroPad ( num, digit ){
var tmp = num.toString();
while (tmp.length < digit) { tmp = "0" + tmp;}
return tmp;
}
// File name - Use a Default name for all
var docName = 'default';
// or uncomment below to use the actual filename
//var docName = decodeURI (activeDocument.name);
// Check other files with same name, and increment
docName = docName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) ? docName = docName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) : docName = [ docName, docName, undefined ];
var saveName = docName[ 1 ]; // activeDocument name with out ext
var files = saveFolder.getFiles( saveName + '*.' + saveExt );// get an array of files matching doc name prefix
if( files.length == 0 ) { // no file with that name so start at one
var saveNumber = 1;
}
if( files.length == 1 ) { // one file found, see if it has a sufix
var fileName = decodeURI ( files[ 0 ].name );
fileName = fileName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) ? fileName = fileName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) : fileName = [ fileName, fileName, undefined ];
if( fileName[1].match( /_(\d{3})$/ ) == null ){
var saveNumber = 1;// does not have sufix so set to one
} else{// has sufix
var saveNumber = parseInt( fileName[ 1 ].match( /_(\d{3})$/ )[1] ,10) + 1; // strip the ext and get the sufix , convert to number and add 1
}
}
if( files.length > 1 ){
files.sort();
var fileName = decodeURI ( files[ files.length -1 ].name );
fileName = fileName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) ? fileName = fileName.match( /(.*)(\.[^\.]+)/ ) : fileName = [ fileName, fileName, undefined ];
var saveNumber = parseInt( fileName[ 1 ].match( /_(\d{3})$/ )[1] ,10) + 1; // strip the ext and get the sufix , convert to number and add 1
}
// File Name
var saveFile = new File( saveFolder + '/' + saveName + '_' + zeroPad( saveNumber, saveSufixLength ) + '.' + saveExt );
// Save for Web
activeDocument.exportDocument( saveFile, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, sfwOptions );
