  Scripting would handle this nicely.

  here’s a bit that will add a type layer with file name

  // set rulers to pixels and save original for resetting
  var originalUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits
  app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS

  // add the pixel position for the left side of your text block below
  var textLeftPosition= 60

  // add the pixel position for the bottom of your text block below
  var textBottomPosition= 60

  var typeLayer = app.activeDocument.artLayers.add();

  typeLayer.name = app.activeDocument.name;
  typeLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
  typeLayer.textItem.size = 48;
  typeLayer.textItem.position = [textLeftPosition, textBottomPosition];
  typeLayer.textItem.contents = typeLayername;

  // return units to original
  app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnits

  You could use insert menu item action to call the script. Save the above text as a jsx file, and call it from file/scripts/browse

  Also, here is a nice script to use as a starting point for processing a folder of images. Insert the operations that you need to perform in the area indicated.

  Jeff’s Photoshop for geeks area is a nice intro to scripting in Photoshop.

  Ah, thanks a lot!
  This will probably save me hours of work, and even enable my company to be able to offer yet another service 😉

  I Have never used scripts before. Can anyone tell me how I apply this script in photoshop? Unfortunately I look at this and all I see is Greek.

  Thanks so much for the help. If I can get this to work it will save me so much time.

  Hi Richard,
  I have tried to use your file location watermarking script in SC4 – but I keep getting an error message for line 17 – (typeLayer.textItem.contents = TypeLayername;. The script does load a text layer in the name of the file, but no text appears on the page. I am loading the script by “scripts – browse”. Can you let me know if I am doing something wrong.
  Cheers

  try adding the line
  var layerName = typeLayer.name
  before the line
  typeLayer.textItem.contents = typeLayername;

  then change
  typeLayer.textItem.contents = typeLayername;
  to
  typeLayer.textItem.contents = layerName;

  This is working for me, but how do I adjust the color? I’d like to make it white.

  set the foreground color before the type layer gets added.

  app.foregroundColor.rgb.red = 255
  app.foregroundColor.rgb.green = 255
  app.foregroundColor.rgb.blue = 255

  will set the FG color to white

  One more question … i’m trying to make it ‘right justified’ but my script is not working.

  typeLayer.textItem.justification = justification.right
