I have an automate script that resizes, creates rounded corners, and drop shadows. Based on what I've seen for other photoshop tutorials you have to create a new window (file->new) and paste the results into that and do a few more steps. At this point you lose your file name and when I do a 'save for web', it has a hard coded name in it that was entered manually from when I recorded the script initially. I've tried messing with the file-naming conventions on the batch screen but these don't seem to work nor do variables seem to cover the file name.

So what I need to do is retain the original file name so that I'm not prompted a 100 times during an automate?

Also, when rounding corners it seems a hard-coded size is needed, i.e. if I have a 1000*750 pixel picture, that size is hard-coded into the select. I guess that I could have multiple resizes in the script and only have one active at anyone time but is there a way to do a copy of a region that is relative to the drawing size?
