how can i get message telling me my batches have completed?

[mach8...@adobeforums.com]

I am using photoshop cs3. I like to run batch actions on various numbers of images. Is there anyway to get a popop or a messege of some kind even if a homade jpg that popups or gives me a clue that the batch actions have completed?
I would like to have some kind of message or something that i can use to trigger another activity after the batch has run.
thanks for any ideas

I've created a text file, hexedited it with jpg headers and dropped it in the source folder with the last name. When PS chokes on it, the action's done.

When you hear a screeching noise from your machine followed by dead silence, you know your action's done... B-)

when you can fry eggs on the outside case because your processor overheated, you know you're a redneck. done.

If you are seriously interested in this functionality, you might want to get a script. I'm not into PS scripting, but it is probably just a few lines of code like this (pseudocode):

app.runAction("myAction")
app.execute("C:\Program Files\winamp\winamp.exe -finished.mp3")

Needs just to be properly fleshed out, so I'd ask on the respective sub-forum.
