I am trying to get HFP to run a photoshop action after its created the output file. I have the droplet file path in the command line field but HFP isn't processing the image to it.

When the HFP has created the image photoshop opens but the droplet actions aren't run as no image is opened in Photoshop.

I have tested the droplet by dropping images onto it and they all work fine as does any images that are open in Photoshop and have the action applied.

Is there something I'm missing as I thought all I needed to do was place the file path of the droplet into the section for running a command post processing and it should open it in photoshop and run the action?

All HFP is doing is running the droplet with no image, the same as if I were to double click on the droplet.

Thanks

Ells

Have you included {filename} in the command line?

Thanks Chris that'll be where I am going wrong! Thought it was just a matter of adding the file path to the .exe and HFP would pass the image to it automatically.

I'll try adding that and seeing how it goes.

Thanks again
