Hi
I would like Fotoshop to perform a batch with some action from a "hot folder", so as son as an image is droped into that folder, Fotoshop would run the Batch? is that possible?

Thanx

Yes, you can do that with the File > Automate > Batch command in Photoshop.

hm ... Maybe you didn't understand. I know i can do that with batch, but i have to do that manulaly every time i want Photoshop tu run that action. What i want is, that Photoshop woluld run that batc itself when the image is droped into that folder, without my interferance?

Photoshop offers no feature for that, but I think it should be possible to write a script or automation plugin for such a task.
