When I create a droplet in Photoshop 2025, it creates a folder instead of an EXE file. What is the solution?

@Sameer KWhat is the status here? It is still not possible to create Droplets with 26.8.1.

Hopefully you've already found this, but now in Sequoia, after the damaged warning, go to System Settings, Privacy and Security and scroll down and you should see the message about the Droplet being blocked and click on "Open Anyway". I had one user that was not getting this but did after a restart and trying again. Good luck.

I'm in the same boat here with Droplets in our workflow. I'm looking into alternatives, maybe converting an action to a script to run instead. Adobe has left us hanging here on this issue since early April, so I'm less optimistic a solution is coming every day.

Is this how Adobe tests to see how many people use Droplets? Our company uses them daily. On top of the bug where the droplet appears to be damaged when upgrading the OS, now we have this issue. I was recently trying to solve the damaged droplet issue with the usual security and privacy and right click/open workaround and when that didn't work I went to recreate the droplet from an action. I was very disappointed to find that now this bug prevents me from even making a new droplet. There is no way I am able to roll back to an earlier version for all users. This needs to be fixed immediately.

Any updates? It looks like the issue has not been rsolved yet, I am still unable to create droplets (macOS 15.5, PS 26.8). Thanks!

Will we be able to create droplets at least before new Mac OS comes out, or will this be never ending!?!

Still not working in Photoshop 26.8.0, or the current Beta (26.9.0). This is a HUGE deal. Lots of us rely on droplets for our businesses.

Updated Photoshop Beta to 26.9, still not working on macOS 15.5

Nice! Thanks! You could probably do something similar in the Shortcuts app too.

As a workaround, try using the following as an Automator application. Substitute the actual action name/set. Obviously this can be fleshed out with more detail/error checking etc. Minimal testing on Sequoia with PS 25.7.

IMPOSSIBLE DE CREER UN DROPLET

 

BONJOUR

 

Tout est dans le titre. MAC OS à jour - Photoshop à jour. Et pourtant impossiblede créer un droplet. Message m'indiquant qu'un fichier est introuvable et création d'un dossier complet (avec des fichiers incompréhensibles) au lieu d'une icone. J'ai même desinstaller réinstaler, supprimer les anciennes versions Photoshop

 

A l'aide...
