Renaming and Action Droplets

i'm trying to think of a workaround to an action I want to create. PS7 won't let me do it directly. I'm trying to create a Droplet that proforms it's action on the image and then automaticaly saves a new RENAMED version of the file in the same location as the original. The problem is in the droplet dialog box, PS will let you "Save and Close" the file or Rename and save to a SPECIFIC folder. I'd rather not specify a specific destination. And, If I just choose "save and close", then I have to work off of a copy of the image and then rename it by hand.

There is no renaming function in actions and I don't want any dialog boxes to come up and stop the action. Help! :(

Ahhh but there IS a way to rename files! You just cant get to fancy with it.

Within the circle area is where you can specify how you want the renamed file to appear. Mess around with it and you'll get the idea. Good luck to ya.

Thanks, but that's the problem. You can only get to these renaming options if you specify a SPECIFIC destination folder. My destination location changes with each image I run thru this droplet. If I choose "Save and Close" for my destination (which would save the effected image right where it originated from), then these renaming options are unavailable (grayed out).

Sorry if I didn't make my problem clear. Anybody got any ideas?
