Batch Resizing issues with Image Processor

I am trying to use PS CS2 to batch resize my photos but cant get the image processor to work.  I select the folder where my images are at, click the option to resize them to be a specific size, and hit run but it gives me an error: "Error: No such element 1271".  If i can do this in Bridge and add metadata, that would be a bonus.  I can use FW to batch resize them as i can set that up in a minute but i would rather use PS to resize my pics as i think it does a better job than FW!  :)

And can metadata be edited by someone other than me?  Say if i add metadata with myself as the owner of the image, can someone later change it to them?

Why don't you create your own "Action" of resizing and apply it.

I could, I was just wanting to know what i was doing wrong with the image processor.  I suppose an action may be a bit better though ya?

CS1 doesn't have "Image processor" and that's what I have :(
so how can i apply an action to a bunch of images?...

ALNMOO,

Image Processor is a Russell Brown script first seen for Photoshop CS. Adobe then bundled it in CS2. You can download Image Processor 2.3 from http://www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html.

Just make sure you get the version for CS rather than CS2 as they aren't cross compatible.
in response to second post, i have cs2 so ill get that version.  ;)

I followed your steps above but it is renaming them all, adding a 1 in front of their name.

ex:  img_2034 is renamed to 1img_2034...

i dont like that.... and dont know why its doing that...
scratch that, it worked like a charm.  some of my images were named funny...  :$

it did put them into a /jpgs folder but easy enough to move.

dont know what i was doing wrong.  I believe i was running image processor from inside PS...

thanks!
Glad to help! Thanks for the grade and points!

It always does create a JPEG folder and PSD folder, etc so you don't accidentally overwrite your originals, I guess.
thats what i was thinking as i believe that you can make a change to all 3 formats at once...
