ADOBE FIREWORKS CS3 340 User Guide For information on completing the batch process, see "Batch processing" on page 334. For more information on creating commands, see "Scripting with the History panel" on page 342. Note: Some commands do not work during a batch process. Select commands that work within the document without requiring any object to be selected. Specifying the batch process output location After you select all batch options in the Batch Process dialog box, you must select options for saving your files. You can save backup copies of the original files from a batch process. Backup copies of files are placed in an Original Files subfolder in the same folder as each original file. To back up batch-processed files: 1 Select a location for the batch output. 2 Select Backups to set your backup options. 3 Select how you want to back up the files: Overwrite Existing Backups overwrites the previous backup file. Incremental Backups keeps copies of all the backup files. When you run a new batch process, a number is appended to the end of the filename of the new backup copy. Note: If Backup is deselected, batch processing in the same file format overwrites the original file if the name is the same. However, batch processing in a different file format creates a new file and does not move or delete the original file. 4 Click Batch to finish the batch process, or click Back to return to the Batch Process dialog box. Saving batch processes as scripts You can save batch process settings as a script or command to re-create the batch process easily in the future. After you select all batch options in the Batch dialog box, you are given options for saving your files. To create a batch script: 1 Click Save Script to create a batch script. 2 Enter a name and destination for the script. 3 Click Save. Saving your script into the Commands folder on your hard disk adds it to the Commands menu in Fireworks.
