You've got an error somewhere (not saying my instructions are immune, but
they worked for me) - I use this nearly every single day, and when I drag a
folder containing dozens of files onto one of my droplets, it just goes. I
can walk away, and when I come back, it's done. It is, in every way, a batch
process.

Before you abandon a perfectly good tool, give it another look and see where
something's wrong. Photoshop certainly didn't go get the feather command on
its own, and there are a few ways to specify saving options: you can
automatically overwrite, you can write to a new folder, you can increment
numerically. If it's prompting you, it's not set up correctly. That's not
the tool's fault.
