After opening and editing images with Pixelmator pro I use this script:
tell application "Pixelmator Pro"
set exportLocation to choose folder with prompt "Please select where you'd like export the images:"
repeat (number of documents) times
export the front document to file ((exportLocation as text) & (name of the front document) & ".jpg") as JPEG with properties {compression factor:85}
close the front document without saving
end repeat
end tell
to export them to the directory where the original images are.
The original image names are
abc.jpg
, def.jpg
, ghi.jpg
and after export it creates new images with those names: abc.pxd.jpg
, def.pxd.jpg
, ghi.pxd.jpg
How can I save the JPGs under their old name (abc.jpg
, def.jpg
, ghi.jpg
) and overwrite the existing file?
