Iīm trying to create an automated task which includes a "save for web" operation which should end off by creating a new folder for the output on my desktop.

Action flow
varios tasks -> Save for web (including: create new folder for image output)

When recording the action, it doesnīt matter if I choose "new folder" or the "put images in folder" option from the "save for web" menu - it still doesnīt work.

When recording it works just fine and the folder is created on my desktop with the "save for web" exported images inside of it. But afterwards, when I try to run the action, it stops and throws the error "Destination folder does not exist", which is true but my intention was to have PSD automatically create the folder.

Iīve seen actions create folders on "Save for web" before and even have one at hand (no copying the action state across wonīt solve it) but havenīt been able to reverse engineer it.

Can anyone tell me what I might be missing?

All help is highly appreciated!

have you tried file->automate->batch

in there in can apply an action process and then save the result as a file, create a directory with a speciffic name+extention.
