THank you all who responded. Effectively I was missing  something. and I
thank Rod Wynne Powell for his suggestion above.
It all goes in the Duplicate Layer command ( so It was simple indeed, not to
say almost obvious and I did not see it), since the dialog box asks you
where you want the source layer to be duplicated and you then choose your
target file and this task can be recorded.
I recorded the action ( you have to click and record the clicking of the
source document  as the first task for the action to run) for both
adjustment layers in a row, and now I am getting ready to spend a more
relaxed saturday, instead of running these 400+ plus files with the same
boring activity  in manual.


Happy weekend and my best wishes to all.

A comment here about renaming files. There are many apps to do this
( including LOTS of freeware, run a search for Finder in Version Tracker)
but I strongly suggest to check A Better Finder Rename (Mac). It installs
the app  somewhere in the machine but then it works as a Contextual Menu so
you open the utility with your mouse clicked on a file or folder. You can
change, add or remove  just about everything you may think of, including,
for instance a letter or a number or a space in the middle of the file's
name, and of course prefixes and sufixes. It's ideal for  large libraries or
just folders with many documents that require serial ID's. And it is blazing
fast. I renamed this work I am currently doing with it in a split second).

The reason most programs don't run this efficiently is IMHO, that it is a
FInder's task. I would rather have PS handling the recording of these tasks
like dragging of layers, selections, paths etc in a future update than
performing a good job at renaming files. I run ABFR before opening my files
in iView Media, even though this app handles the renaming and batch
renaming.
It is just more effectively done  in the Finder.

   All the best.
