require up to 18 steps to do this hilarious simple job

The first time yes. You need to create an action. After that it's a cinch.

1. Navigate to Batch
2. Choose Action & folder
3. Click go.

Done. ;)

Creating the action yourself is advantageous over more basic batching tools because you can stipulate many additional parameters.
