Batch processing


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Batch command lets you play an action on a folder of files and subfolders.

When batch processing files, you can leave all the files open, close and save the changes to the original files, or save modified versions of the files to a new location (leaving the originals unchanged). If you are saving the processed files to a new location, you may want to create a new folder for the processed files before starting the batch.

To batch process files:

1 Choose Batch from the Actions palette menu.

2 For Set, choose the desired set.

3 For Action, choose the desired action.

4 For Source, click Choose to specify a folder and play an action on files (including subfolders) already stored on your computer.

5 To open the files from the specified folder, select Override Action "Open" Commands. Any Open commands recorded as part of the original action are ignored.

6 To process all files and folders within the specified folder, select Include All Subdirectories.

7 For Destination, choose an option:

None to leave the files open without saving changes (unless the action included a Save command).
Save and Close to save the files in their current location.
Folder to save the altered files to another location. Click Choose to specify the destination folder.
If you chose Folder, select Override Action "Save" Commands to save the processed files to the specified destination folder and not to a location recorded with the Save As or Save a Copy commands.
Select Override Action "Export" Commands to export the processed files to the specified destination folder rather than to a location recorded with the Export commands. Click Choose to specify the destination folder.


Saving files using the Batch command options always saves the files in the same format as the original files. To create a batch process that saves files in a new format, record the Save As or Save a Copy command, followed by the Close command, as part of your original action. Then choose None for the Destination when setting up the batch process.



8 For Errors, choose an option:

Stop for Errors to suspend the batch process until you confirm the error message.
Log Errors to File to record each error in the file without stopping the batch process. If errors are logged to this file, a message appears after files are processed, alerting you to review the error file. If you select this option, click Save As, and name the error file.


To batch process using multiple actions, create a new action, and record the Batch command for each action you want to use. This technique also lets you process multiple folders in a single batch. To batch process multiple folders, create aliases within a folder to the other folders you want to process.
