Problem with counter in script Photoshop CS6 ver 13 64 bit

Post by Lukkar »

I have script which creates jpg copies of activeDocument file in draft folders in directory "../UserNameJobName/4.WIP/"

The original file PSD(activeDocument) to make copies of it, is in "3.Working" directory folder.

The problem is that everything works fine until I want to to create third draft folder (draft003). It saved again activeDocument in the same jpg file in draft002, instead of creating new one folder and saving in that.
It seams that var draftCounter can't be higher than 2 value. I'm not sure where is a bug. What I know in photoshop CC it works without any problems.

        }   
    }


//A resuable JPEG save script
function jpegFileSaver(doc, saveFile, quality){
    //define the save options
    var saveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
    saveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
    saveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
    saveOptions.quality = quality;
    //save the files
    doc.saveAs(saveFile, saveOptions, true);
    }
    
Thanks in advance for any help
