Could someone PLEASE help me build this simple photoshop droplet? - hal - 05-31-2017
Every time I upgrade computer, it breaks my pshop droplet. And every time I spend ALL DAY trying to recreate it. Eventually I stumble upon the simple trick that makes it all easy. But I have to suffer all day first. I made another thread about this a few years ago and I was smart enough to post the solution to that thread so that all I'd have to do would be to search out the thread and find it again. The sol'n was in a image that is no longer being hosted and I can't find it anywhere - ARRRRRGHH!
Photoshop CS5.
It's very simple - it's just a folder of screenshots - I want to convert the folder of png files to jpg files.
Nothing I try has worked - I get output with the same name always used, output with the last few characters cut off (WHY??) or nothing at happens depending on the settings I use.
This is simple - I've done it before....

Same size and resolution? Or save to a different size and resolution? do you want to add a watermark?
Ive got an action I can send over...

Would make more sense to have your screen shots always be jpegs? you can change that in terminal...
Change Screenshot Format to JPG
Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities.
Type or copy/paste the following command into the Terminal window. The command is all on a single line, but your browser may display this page with the Terminal command broken into multiple lines. While you can type in the command, the simplest thing to do is to take advantage of one of the Mac’s copy/paste secrets: place your cursor on any word in the command line below and triple-click. This will select the entire line of text, at which point you can paste the text into Terminal without fear of making a typo.
defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg
After you enter the text into Terminal, press the return or enter key.
The default screenshot format has been changed, however, the change won’t take effect until you restart your Mac, or, since we have Terminal open, tell the system user interface server to restart. We can do this by issuing the Terminal command below. Don’t forget the triple-click trick.
killall SystemUIServer

Seems like a job for Graphic Converter.

Nevermind folks - this seems to be just a case of old software on a new computer - one portion of PS is refusing file names longer than 31 characters. I'm gonna build a workaround and be done with the need for this droplet.

How about File> Scripts> Image Processor?

Would love to look at the Action you have made to do this. I, too, am droplet impaired.

I can do that, but nothing is faster than dropping a folder on an icon and being done with it.
