P: PS 26.5 Droplets Could not complete the Create Droplet command because the file was not found.

Hey @7411280 why is this issue STILL NOT LISTED ON THE KNOWN ISSUES PAGE? It's been 3 months and you say it's with the team, so it's definitely a known issue, right?

As you can see there's a LOT of us waiting for an actual acknowledgement about this and many of us are losing hope for a solution. I hope we're wrong.

I've seen others report this. When you try and save a droplet it says that the file cannot be found and you look where you tried to save it and there's a folder with a bunch of stuff in it instead of the droplet. I have 1000 files to do. I can't begin to say how annoying this is Adobe! I use this professionally, and it seems like lately every other update breaks something important. 

This is just a mess Adobe. It's super poor quality control and Adobe giving the middle finger to its clients. Please fix this ASAP. This is nonsense. 

Hi

Does anybody knows where can I download MacOS 15.3 Installation?

I am lucky that I have an older version of Mac OS Ventura on a computer. I use that to create the droplet, move that droplet to the newer OS/Computer and once I have granted it access in the security preferences, runs with no issues.

Starting to think about moving to a PC.

Any update on above?

@Sameer K 

Seem to me that there's 2 different kinds of problems with droplets. 

1) Old droplets doesn't work
This has a solution where you have to give permissions first, lots of tutorials about that. 

2) There is no way to create new droplets (at least on latest MacOS)
As far as I know there is no solution to this. I have tried several different computers and also tried granting disk access rights to Photoshop and Bridge in my computers settings. 

When, from photoshop, creating a droplet I get an error message saying "Could not complete the Create Droplet command because the file was not found.". Photoshop do create a folder DROPLETNAME.appContents and inside it there's a lot of files but none are executable. 

Will there be a fix for this soon? Is there's any way to manually convert the folder to a droplet? This is costing me hours of extra work every week and also I already put at least 20 hours into looking for solutions. 

Hoping for a swift reply. 

Best, Björn

Can confirm that this is still an issue after the latest update. (26.8.1) Spoke to a friend who said that they contacted customer service and it sounded like droplets were going to be phased out. (also something about paying for certain PS upgrades in the near future.) However as I did not speak with them personally I can't confirm that so take it with mountains of salt.

As Adobe has been silent on the issue publicly (and with the current grifty culture being what it is), it's very possible though. 

Any updates on this? It's the end of June and I still can't get it to work. This software is expensive. Something like this should work without having to dance around trying extraordinary measures. 

Hi

I have spent 3 hours with consumer service : Nothing works !! And, suprisîgly, I have spoken with 3 différent guys of adobe. They don't seem tu be aware about this problem.  I thing we should warn Photoshop youtubers. 

Does anyone out there have the macOS 15.6 beta to test this on?

@Sameer K when is someone from Adobe going to reply in this thread again? It's been over 2 months now. We really need to know if Adobe is even trying here. If Droplets are going to die, we need to start working on other solutions.
