Photoshop CS - Saving file as jpg

Question

Hi
I am using CS v8.0 and using a javascript action script. I seem to be having all kinds of problems saving the document as a .jpg though. I simply want to open all the files in a folder, resize the image and save the file with a different name (in the same folder). Here is my code so far:
// Save current dialog preferences
var startDisplayDialogs = app.displayDialogs;
var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits; // Save the current preferences
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS; // Set Photoshop to use pixels
// Don't display dialogs
app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
var FILE_TYPE = ".jpg"; // The type of files that this script works on -- you can change
var SEARCH_MASK = "*" + FILE_TYPE; // Image file filter to find only those files
try {
// Ask user for input folder
var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder to process");
if (inputFolder == null)
throw X_NOINPUT;
// get all files in the input folder
var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles(SEARCH_MASK);
// Open each file in turn
for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
// Set document to open file
var docRef = open(fileList[i]);
var fname = docRef.name;
var currentDocument = app.activeDocument;
// IF LandScape Picture
if (currentDocument.height.value < currentDocument.width.value) {
// Resize image by shrinking width
currentDocument.resizeImage(110,undefined);
// IF Height < 110 --- Enlarge top right of canvas
if (currentDocument.height.value < 110) {
currentDocument.resizeCanvas(110,110,AnchorPosition.BOTTOMLEFT);
docRef.backgroundLayer.applySharpen();
var saveFile = new File(fname.slice(0,-4) + "-small.jpg");
var saveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
saveOptions.quality = 3;
currentDocument.saveAs(saveFile,saveOptions,true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
currentDocument.close(saveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
} else {
currentDocument.close(saveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
} else {
// Resize image by shrinking height
currentDocument.resizeImage(undefined,110);
// IF Width < 110 --- Enlarge right of canvas
if (currentDocument.width.value < 110) {
currentDocument.resizeCanvas(110,110,AnchorPosition.BOTTOMLEFT);
docRef.backgroundLayer.applySharpen();
var saveFile = new File(fname.slice(0,-4) + "-small.jpg");
var saveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
saveOptions.quality = 3;
currentDocument.saveAs(saveFile,saveOptions,true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
currentDocument.close(saveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
} else {
currentDocument.close(saveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
catch (exception) {
// Show degbug message and then quit
alert(exception);
finally {
// Reset app preferences
app.displayDialogs = startDisplayDialogs;
The resize of the image seems to work fine but i just can't get the saving working. Also, even though i have specified DONOTSAVECHANGES i still get the "Do you want to save changes" prompt when closing the file.
Any help is appreciated..
Thanks,
Dan

With CS2, you have to make sure the image is flattened, there are not paths, no extra channels, in RGB colorspace, and 8bit.  The current versions of PS does this for you, but not CS2.
BTW, you said you just installed CS2, which is a very old program.  I hope you have a license for it.  See this thread:
