Save As with addition

[leahcimi]

I guess this should be simple but I can't get it to work.

I want a script that will take the currently loaded image and save it, to the folder that it came from, using its current name but with the word ' - edited' added

eg current loaded image file name is 'MyImage.jpg' which I want saved as 'MyImage - edited.jpg

Thanks in advance.

In Terrypin's case he wanted to change the extension as well as add "-PS" to the end of the file name. But most of the procedure is the same for simply adding a postfix to the name of the file.

Technically the easiest option is to simply add "--edited.jpg" to the end of the filename but then you'd get something like this "originalName.jpg--edited.jpg" which I'm guessing is not what you want.

In that topic Terrypin points to yet another topic where I demonstrate how to add a pre-fix to the filename. Which, if you're not opposed to a prefix, is yet another option. I don't, however, have a pre-made script for this. Just the explanation for the process you'll want to follow.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I will give it a try.
