I like to use "Automate"/"Batch" commands to run actions on entire directories of photos. But even if I click "save" or "save as" as part of the action, no matter which of options I choose is setting up the automate/batch commands to run the action on the entire directory, it ends up stoping after processing EACH image and ask what level of .jpg compression I want for EACH photo at which point I either have to sit there and hit enter about every 2 seconds or I end up taping the enter key down with a piece of scotch tape and come back a half hour later when it has finished "batching" the whole directory.

Am I missing a step, I thought the whole idea of running a batch command was so I could one click process a whole directory.

If I have opened a file at least once in photoshop and saved it at least once, it skips the .jpg compression question if I run the batch command. (which is funny as I could understand it stopping to ask about embedded color profiles, but no where have I found a way to avoid the jpg compression issue question)

Am I missing something?
