I have thousands of images dispersed through tenths of directories.
I need to resize them using the batch command.
Problem. If I close my action with "save" command then I get a prompt for 
JPEG-Options on each processed image. If I use "save as", I don't get 
promped but all the images get saved in one folder (the info seems to be 
stored in "save as" action command.
Is there a workarround for this or I have to use 3rd party software (any 
suggestions on which?)
TIA

Are you sure you want to save as JPEGs? In any event, answer all the 
questions in an action. You might find it better to use ImageReady's 
droplets. ImageReady is a little more friendly to droplet behavior. 
Copy/drag it to where you want, and do it.

For this, I use UNIX find (built-in, for example in Mac OS X) and
imagemagick (free), in a shell script.
