Hi,
Very nearly found a solution to this old problem I have. I've found a script that saves groups as PNGs and it's great but I need it to save to JPEGs instead. I also need to have an option to change the name. In the script is fine although I did like the 'export layers to files' pop up box. They are currently named after the group name which I want to keep, just add to. I'm really sorry for my lack of experience when it comes to stuff like this, I know people have suggested ways to do it but I can't understand how to edit the script itself and get it to work.
Many many thanks in advance!!
