: Batch export OBJ files from Photoshop keeping the PSD filename I have an action that takes a psd with a 3d layer that: Resets the rotation of the Object Moves it to the Ground Plane Unifies

I have an action that takes a psd with a 3d layer
that:


Resets the rotation of the Object
Moves it to the Ground Plane
Unifies it
Exports to an obj file (here lies the problem)
Closes the document


When it exports during the batch it writes it as whatever the original file was named overwriting the original. I want to simply export the obj with whatever name the current psd has. I have a render action that renders the 3d image and saves it as a jpg that runs just fine so it's probably some problem with ps's export 3d layer command and actions.

I also tried writing a folder action on the mac that will copy and rename the files to a different folder via a bash script pulling names from a txt file and deleting them as it moves them and it sometimes manages to get 2 of the 3 into the destination other times it moves the mtl file as well which was nowhere in it's commands.

NAME=$(head -1 /Users/username/Desktop/test.txt)
mv /Users/username/Desktop/3D/OBJ/Run/CH098.obj /Users/username/Desktop/3D/OBJ/Processed/$NAME.obj
tail -n +2 /Users/username/Desktop/test.txt > /Users/username/Desktop/test.bak.txt
mv /Users/username/Desktop/test.bak.txt /Users/username/Desktop/test.txt


I then decided it was running too soon and added a 5 second pause before it moved the file to hopefully make sure photoshop had finished writing to the file. (it didn't work)
