I did.
Trying to reduce file size for email
I did Image size first - and this was no problem to batch.But needed the files size smaller - so thought "save for web" would be perfect. Seems to record. But doesn't play back

nope. not possible in actions. you need to use FILE > AUTOMATE
or FILE > SCRIPTS

i haven't done it for a while, but it looks like you first need to create an action, and then run batch. watch second half of this video.

I remember to do it once so it works, but the downsize is it reduced all subsequent images to percentage and not actual pixel dimensions you input in the dialog. So if you want that all images be 300px wide and they're not all the same dimensions, they wont all be 300px because they will resize in percentage... in your case, I presume you wont resize so it should work..

hahah brilliant -thanks all.
I am stupid. I didn't close my original file that I used to record the actions before I stopped the recording. doh!
- but i don't think that should have mattered - would just have tons of open filesalicetheblue
