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.

   NOTE

   The exact location of this folder varies from system to system and depends on whether you want the command to be available just to your user profile or to all users. Commands folders are located in the Configuration folder in the Fireworks application folder and also in your user-specific Fireworks configuration folder. For more information, see Working with configuration files.

To run a batch script:

1. Do one of the following:
   • In Fireworks, select Commands > Run Script.
   • Outside Fireworks, double-click the script filename on your hard disk.
2. Select a script and click Open.
3. Select the files to process with the script:

   Current Open Files processes all open documents.

   Custom lets you select files to process.

   NOTE

   Click the Ellipsis (...) button beside the Files to Process pop-up menu to select files to process.

4. Click OK.
