How to stop adding " copy" to file names?

First off, I don't mind the save as a copy feature. If I have a psd file with layers and smart objects and such, and I Save As > JPG, I don't want the jpg open, I want the psd open. I like how PS does that behavior, but I don't like how that jpg gets " copy" added to it's file name. Yes it's easy to remove, but I'm using a batch action on over 300 pictures, I don't feel like renaming 300 jpg's. Yes it's supposed to be a safety net, but I basically never work from jpg's as original's, and if for some reason I do, I set them as read only and copy the files off to a safe location, so I don't need it.
I know it's possible because my old school's computers with photoshop CS5 never saved jpg's with copy in the file name. So, how do I stop PS CS5 from adding copy to my file names? Because I need photoshop to not add copy to my file names on my work computer (and it's my old school, can't use their computers or ask someone why it's like that).

ikumajap's response made me realize the reason the "save as copy" is greyed out is because it has layers. So all you have to do is add a "flatten image" action first, then a new "save as jpg" that does not include the copy. I tried adding flatten to my old action but it still added "copy" so you do have to make a new save action. This, of course, will not alter your original file as long as you don't add a plain old save in there first.

  • Can't Copy a File Name?

    I just upgraded to CS5 from CS2. I always used to be able to copy
    the file name of a new file in the save screen and then paste that filename to new folder when I saved it. I can't seem to
    do  that any longer..any one know why or how to change that? It's really  frustrating to have to re-type the file name every time I make a new  folder and save a file...
    And let me say ahead of time I'm sorry if this has already been addressed, belongs in another forum or whatever...I'm still learning how to navigate these forums and don't like being yelled at...

    First, welcome. We don't usually yell at new users here, at least not the first time.
    What is your OS? Copy and paste in a save dialog would be controlled by the operating system, not InDesign, and I've not had any difficulty in doing it here on Windows XP...

  • Copy&paste file names when bouncing

    too bad, after upgrading to 7.1.0 it is still impossible to copy&paste file names when bouncing, as was no problem in LP6! That´s very time consuming for me, because for film music I usually have long file names that contain smpte codes. Does anybody have a shortcut?

    Hi Orbanl, I was going to post this myself and then found your post so will add to it.
    'It used to be in Logic Pro 6 that normal copy/paste worked in the 'name' field of the save and bounce windows (even kept them seperate as far as clipboards went). Now, in Logic 7.1 the only way I can initiate a copy or paste when saving the song or naming the bounce is a right mouse click (cntrl-click)? to bring up these options. Are there no key commands for the navigation services anymore? This is a huge time killer for me as I often save 60~100 files with the same root name and was able to quickly initiate and save/bounce without stopping to pick up the mouse (now I have to switch back and forth between the keyboard and mouse to initiate, name copy+paste and modify name). Thanks in advance.'
    Over at the Logic Pro Forum, Peter suggested in response to this post that the Pro App Support update v3 might have something to do with it as his Logic 10.3.9 DOES support normal copy/paste commands! Unfortunately I am running 10.3.8 and the Pro App update v3 specically notes 10.3.9 as its requirement. The only reason I have not upgraded to 10.3.9 is I use a lot of esoteric shareware music software and I understand 10.3.9 had some 'sprinkling' of Tiger in it that at least for several friends of mine broke older app's that were running fine in 10.3.8.
    Here is the link if you are running 10.3.9.

  • How to specify relative path for file name in java class

    I have various files under the same folder i.e validation.
    If I want to access the file "test.properties" in Test.java, how can I just specify "test.properties" & not "C:\Aurora\com\optemys\aurora\validation\test.properties".
    I dont want to hardcode any file path into the class. How can I specify the relative file name into the class.
    Thanks In Advance

  • Sharepoint Workflow : how to get document full path + file name into variable?

    Hi,
    Anybody knows how to get document full path + file name into a variable in Sharepoint 2010 workflow?
    Example http://sp1:80/InvoiceQueue/Shared Documents/123.pdf
    I am using List Workflow which links to a document library.

    Hi SAMSUNG,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the full path of a document in a list workflow.
    You can set the variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the document. The screenshot is my testing. In my testing (in the red area), when the title of a document was equal to the tile of the current item, set a variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the
    document. I used ‘Log to history list’ to check the value of the variable in Workflow History .
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Wendy

  • How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

    How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

    Thank you! That was it. The option to change it is not available in preferences (though I believe it was in early CS versions). It's hidden in a dropdown menu associated with an icon at the top. It sure wasn't easy to find, and I probably would not have done so without your lead. Thanks again!

  • How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard

    How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard, please see the attached screenshot for a clearer explanation.
    I understand that if we prefix all files with leading zero's this will probably resolve the issue but I just wondered if anyone new the answer. The ironic situation is that version 6 has no problem.
    I have spent over an hour with techincal support who were unable to provide me with an answer

    It is not clear how you are trying to do the order. Have you tried to select a set of files and then use the arrow buttons to move them in the list? If you select the heading, that will typically reorder the files by that heading and undo everything you had done before.
    You should be able to select groups of files and move them up and down in the list. All of those options appear on your view, so what is the real question?

  • How do I change the Home file name back to Home?

    Help! - How do I change the Home file name back to Home? My supplier changed it to Demo. I've tried pressing return, control click and Get Info but none gives access to change the name. Any ideas?

    The Home folder isn't named "Home." It is named for the user account it represents.
    Who is your "supplier?" Sounds like they're not terribly bright.
    Can you provide some details on why they "changed" it. Is this a brand new Mac? Were you having information transferred from another computer?
    It sounds like you just need to create a new account and get rid of "Demo."
    While logged into the "Demo" account, go to System Preferences in the Apple Menu.
    Click on Users & Groups
    If the padlock is locked, click on it and enter your password.
    Click the + button at the bottom of the list of users. This will create a new account. Fill in the information you'd like to use for your account. The account name is what will be used for the "Home" folder.
    Once created, select it from the list and check the box to "Allow user to administer this computer."
    You can then log out of "Demo" and log in as your new user. If there is nothing in the Demo account that you want, you can delete it from the Users & Groups System Pref.

  • How do I change the .php file name for a page of my site?

    how do I change the .php file name for a page of my site? The only link to the page is the nav. button link for it in the global nav. The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.

    I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail.

  • How i will run copy the file in oracle 7.3 ?

    how i will run copy the file in oracle 7.3.
    new version of oracle copy function is available in util_file but in oracle 7.3 this is not available.here i am using 7.3.
    please help
    Thanks
    Deepak S.

    The technique used to be to send messages from your procedure to a waiting shellscript listener using DBMS_PIPE. You would write a script (could be ksh, Perl, Ruby etc) on the server with a loop in which it connects to the database and waits for DBMS_PIPE messages. When it gets one, it executes the command that was contained in the message and loops around to continue waiting again.
    7.3 is really ancient though. If you're running it at all this far out of support it should really just be ticking over and not subject to new development.

  • MacBook Pro-'the disk copy of "file name" was changed...'

    My MacBook Pro has been running very slowly. Occasionally, the message 'The disk copy of "file name" was changed since you last opened of saved it. Do you want to save it anyway?" when attempting to save photoshop files. It also tells me my start up drive is nearly full but it is not. I'm guessing the these are related. Anyone else experiencing this?

    I also just started experiencing this. 
    Quick Specs:
    MBP 8GB 2.3Ghz 1.7 (Early 2011)
    256 SSD
    OSX Lion 10.7.2
    I have seen this with Photoshop, Flash, and Dreamweaver CS 5, and Eclipse. 
    I am growing concerned that this is either the SSD starting to fail or possibly the new Spotlight index algorithm. 
    Would really like to see if anyone has a fix.

    How can I show my pictures' (files') name in Adobe Muse lightbox?
    For example: DSC_0022.jpg

    Hello,
    Muse does not pick up and display the file name by default.
    However, the slideshow Lightbox has a Caption option in which you can manually type the file name there and display it anywhere on/around the picture.
