I have a source file for an icon. It has a base layer which is the icon background, and a number of layer folders, each of which contains layers for each individual icon. There are 20 or so of these folders. To save the icon set, I need to:
Make the base layer visible, and hide all other layers
Show the folder of the icon I want to save
Save the file, with an appropriate name (the name of the folder)
Hide that folder.
Repeat steps 2-4 for every folder
I've played around with the scripting in Photoshop but haven't been able to make something that does this automatically (it's an annoyingly time-consuming operation). Is it possible?

Photoshop Composition Composer will do just what you need. In your case use only a single top-level folder.
Usage
See the Example and the Preview below to learn how it works
Download and unzip photoshopCompositionComposer jsx-file
Open your project and navigate to File > Scripts > Browse...
Browse and load the downloaded jsx file
Example
Layers
Group animals.
Layer dog_
Group cat_
Group background.
Layer sea_
Group space_
Layer underWater_
Resulting Compositions
animals.dog_background.sea_
animals.dog_background.space_
animals.dog_background.underWater_
animals.cat_background.sea_
animals.cat_background.space_
animals.cat_background.underWater_

Yes! Here's what you do. Open the Layer Comps window in photoshop. Click the snapshot button, hide your current layer, show the next layer, click the snapshot again. Create a layer comp snapshot for each state of your document that you want to have exported as individual files. Once you have all of those ready, go to File > Scripts > Layer Comps to Files. Set up your destinate folder and image settings, then export and you will have all of those layer comps as single images.
