Changing the filename in Photoshop Action

Hello,
I couldn't find any tips with regards to how to use a "syntax" to rename the file just before "saving as" or "saving for web" options in PS.
To understand what I'm trying to achieve, please let me describe the case on the example below:
I have the file "picture.jpg" (1024x768)
What I'm trying to do is:
- Resize the image down to size 800x600
- Save it in the same folder using "save for web" as "picture_large.jpg"
- Resize the image again, this time down to size 600x480
- Save it in the same folder using "save for web" as "picture_medium.jpg"
So after the first step in my action I need to add the suffix "_large" and after the third step I need to add the suffix "_medium".
Is it possible?
Thanks

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your repllies, unfortunately I can't achieve the 100% result using your suggesitions (I learnet a bit anyway ).
- When using slices, I'd have to rename slice everytime I resize the picture as I need diferent suffix for every image size.
- Suggestion to use "Save as" instead "Save for web" doesn't resolve my problem either, as what I'm trying to achieve is to store one image with all the diferent image sizes in one folder.
I guess perfect solution would be if I could change the filename using some syntax which could look like:
change current file name from [name] to [name]+"_medium"
But I believe this is not possible.
Thanks very much anyway and of course if there are any other suggestions I'll be happy if someone could help.

  • How can i make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    How can I make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

    I could be snarky and say change the image in a different version of Photoshop, but NO...
    The only way to make a photo that is one size into another size is to change the image.  You have a few choices about how to change it:
    One way is to simply expand the height from 6.6 to 8 inches using Image>Canvas Size, using the default setting of having the image centered and leaving the background either black or white, your preference.  This will add background color to the top and bottom of your image.  This won't change the image itself, but it will change its surroundings.
    Another way is to resize the image using Image>Image Size, entering the new dimensions after turning off the aspect ratio lock (resample on).  This will stretch the image vertically, however, so it's probably not a good option.
    Finally, you could resize the image using Image>Image Size, leaving the aspect ratio lock on and resample on, and increase the height from 6.6 to 8.  This will have the secondary effect of enlarging the width from 10" to a greater width.  Then you crop the resulting image back down to 10" width, which involves losing some edge areas of the image.

  • Change the Filename of an Interactive Form

    We have a SmartForms PDF displayed in an INTERACTIVE_FORM. Is there any way to change the filename? When our users save the PDF it is always called "F.PDF" which is a bit silly.

    Hi Marc,
    Unfortunately, there's no possibility to change the name when the PDF is displayed with the interactiveForm UI element.
    Alternatively - depending on your EhP level - you could use the iframe UI element to display the PDF. The Adobe Reader proposes the name given in the URL.

  • Changing the FileName & Directory of a mapping by updating the database .

    Hi,
    In one of the ETL tools which I have worked before ( constellar) , It was possible to change the filename & directory associated with a program/interface/mapping dynamically by simply updating the tables of database. Is that possible in OWB. ( anyway when we implemented we did that by changing the scheduler shell script ) , just because of curiosity I am raising this doubt ?.
    regards
    Ranjeesh

    select PARAMETER_NAME, PARAMETER_VALUE
    from ALL_RT_LOCATION_PARAMETERS
    You can set the location however the file is stored in all_rt_objects in a clob. I don't know how the modify the filename in the clob dynamic.
    NOTE the mentioned objects are views.
    We have a data stucture (here a simplyfied example)
    data /input <= any input file any name any version
    /output
    /process <= contains fixed name
    a batch (call in OWF) copy from inp to process.
    cheers,

  • Can I change the name of manual action

    Can I change the name of manual action to the user account's or some definitive name.
    <ManualAction id='1' name='displayCreateUserForm' timeout='30' syncExec='true'>
    I tried name='$(user.accounts[Lighthouse].lastname)', but of no use?
    Any help please?
    G

    This is for requestor's review pending actions list. In our create user workflow, all the pending forms(incomplete create tabbed user form) are referred as manual actions.
    If the requestor stops the create user form without completing it, it gets into his/her review pending action list as
    -displayCreateUserfrom
    -displayCreateUserform
    and does not specify who the user account form that was incomplete.
    <ManualAction name='displayCreateUserForm' timeout='30' syncExec='true'>
    <Owner>
    <ref>WF_CASE_OWNER</ref>
    </Owner>
    <FormRef>
    <ObjectRef type='UserForm' name='OND-UserForm-TabbedCreateUser'/>

  • Why can't I change the filename on the streaming server?

    I ran into an interesting problem and I am unable to find an answer to this.
    Here is the issue.
    I encoded a file into .flv format. When I stream the file using RTMP protocol, it streams fine. However, if I change the name of the file ( I can explain why I need to do this, but assume that's part of what I need to do in our product) by appending a string, it fails to playback properly ( note:  I modify the playback URLto match the new filename).
    Example:
    rtmp://localhost/vod/sample.flv
    2 changes to make
    a) change the filename to sample_mystring.flv in the content folder
    b) playback rtmp://localhost/vod/sample_mystring.flv
    it does not playback the video.
    I am scratching my head, because this is not an expected failure. I am left to wonder if the video player ( in this case FLVPlayer) or the RTMP protocol is requiring the original filename in the stream for it to playback.
    I am not familiar with the protocol or its inner-workings, but I hope someone here has some experience or thoughts to help me figure this out. I am stuck.
    Thanks for your help!

    I am back to testing this again, and I have the same issues
    I have tried the entries as follows
    <VirtualDirectory>
          <!-- Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams.   -->
                <Streams>/;w:\files</Streams>
    </VirtualDirectory>
    <VirtualDirectory>
          <!-- Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams.   -->
                <Streams>/\\remoteserver\files</Streams>
       </VirtualDirectory>
    I also checked that the FMS host has access to the remote folder by first sharing the remote folder and
    a) creating a common network user "fmsuser" who has access to the remote folders
    b) fms startups with log in as "fmsuser".
    I can't see the remote files play back. However, the local files play just fine. I also verified that the file is OK using "flvcheck.exe" in the tools directory.
    Thanks for your help

  • Automator: Render PDF as Images changes the filename.

    I have a PDF named "Bamboo Cutting Board Sales Sheet.pdf" that contains one image.
    When I run the PDF through the Automator action Render PDF As Images, the filename is saved and changed to "002ddf334.jpg.
    How do I keep the original file name?

    I see. 
    This worked when I tested on 1 PDF:
    The Run Shell Script Action is:
    basename=${1##*/}
    echo ${basename%.*}
    If it's still out of order, add: Sort Finder Items [by creation date] after Render PDF Pages as Images
