Hi all! I'm Johnny B. :)

I'm hoping to use actions to streamline the process of saving both a png and psd version of an image at the same time. I created an action that performs "save as png" and then "save as psd" which works.

The issue I'm running into is that if it's a new file (untitled) using this action won't give me an opportunity to name the file, it just saves both versions as untitled. I could name the file when its created, but often I'm not sure what the name of something should be until its completed (or at least ready to be saved for the first time).

If there something that could act as a "name this untitled file" action?

Thanks to all who reply! :)

[EDIT]
Just realized I posted this in the wrong topic! Also, after tinkering a bit, it seems that the "save as" action just uses whatever name was used when the action was recorded (untitled or otherwise), rendering it fairly useless. Not sure where to go from here Frown
