P: 20.0.6 - Droplets not working on macOS 10.15 Catalina

New 64 bit droplets are not working in macOS Catalina and Photoshop 20.0.6. When I save a droplet, it's showing an incorrect modification date and time in the Finder of Aug 13, 2019 at 11:56pm. Droplets open but do not complete any actions or give any errors, they just don't run.

I'm working with engineering on a workaround. Will post later if I find one.

Sorry. You might be looking at a cached version. The page was updated earlier this AM.

So shouldn't you guys update the Known compatibility issues on this page? As of today it makes it sound like droplets work just fine or can be fixed which is NOT TRUE!

Droplets created with older versions won't work
Older versions of Photoshop create 32-bit droplets, which are not compatible with macOS Catalina. 
Solution
  1. Update to Photoshop version 20.0.6. 
  1. Open the droplets in Photoshop. 
When you open older droplets after updating to Photoshop 20.0.6 or later, it converts 32-bit droplets to 64-bit droplets.
This information was what made me decide to go ahead with 10.15 since I could easily deal with all the other issues.

Confirmed same issue on a clean installation of macOS 10.15 and PS 20.0.6 and created a new droplet from scratch. When you view contents of the package, the Droplet.88DR application in the resources folder is 32bit.

We’re investigating this issue. Seems to be related to quarantine changes in Catalina.

Working with making entirely new easy image resize droplets and also unsuccessful at working at all. Tried solutioning several different ways through batching as well and not working at all. I have the latest version of Photoshop 20.0.6 upgraded btw.

Uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop, same issue continues but the modified date is now from today, but still static, doesn't update the time modified correctly. I also tried creating a new action from scratch to make the new droplet from and same issue. ALL droplets appear to still have a 32 bit app inside the package contents/resources folder inside the droplet.
