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

OMG thank you so much, it worked after allowing it to open in the firewall section!

I'm also having the same problem with droplets. I have done System Settings/Privacy & Security/clicked Open Anyway...nothing happens, still get error message.  I have also done System Settings/Privacy & Security/Full Disk Access/turned on droplet.  Neither of these work.  Does anyone have a fix to get droplets working? I'm working on 26.5.0

Running Photoshop v25.6.0 on a Mac Studio M2 MAX,  macOS v15.4 with same problem everyone else is having.

After spending HOURS troubleshooting this it would appear to be a "known issue" that you are working on, so I await the next release which hopefully has resolved this issue. As a side not, I don't even get an alert in the "Security" subsection. All possible privacy and security prompts are enabled, and I even reloaded PS using Shift/Option/Command to no avail other than wasting my time. PLEASE ELEVATE THIS ISSUE as a higher priority on your list for engineering to address ASAP.

Thank you. 

1. Small Correction to my ealier post:
2. We installed Macos Sequoia 15.2
3.  then Installed Adobe PS 2021
4. Ran the Droplet Creation - WORKED YAY!!!
5.  Then installed Macos Sequoia update 15.4.1
6. Tried Droplet creation - It Failed, stopped at the File not found.
7. So the culprit was the OS update.
8. Workaround - we copied the Droplet Folder to Macos Sequoia 15.4.2 updated system and working as wanted. So create your Droplet under 15.2 and copy it into 15.4.1.
9. I thought it would be permision issue in Macos Sequoia but it could be system file used to compile the Droplet. (who knows as we couldn't use the Droplet created in macOS Monterey. It did work but not the renamed file to the destination Folder)
10.  Goodluck with other as we found an internal workaround and hope Apple will fix the bug soon. (Not Adobe 🙂 

We tried installing macOS v15.4.1 from the scratch, Install PS 2021, and Droplet started working without a glitch. So weird.

Hi We tried every possible thing to get the App working,
<System Mini-M4, Sequoa 15.4>
We tried with PS 2021 and 2025, still  file was not found error
Tried fixing the AppContent renamed to App and fixing the internal File structure with "Contents" etc.
Then it runs the Droplet but it doesn't export files to a Folder.
Need you help.

Photoshop 2024 / 2025 und BETA

MacOS Sequoia 15.x

Fehlermeldung beim erstellen eines neuen Droplets aus einer eigenen Aktion 

Das Droplet konnte nicht erstellt werden, weil die Datei nicht gefunden werden konnte.

Es wird nur auf z.B.: ~/Schreibtisch oder ~/Dokumente ein Ordner mit dem Namen des Droplets Verkleinern.appContents erstellt 

Bei nochmaligem versuch das Droplet zu erstellen kommt dann folgende FM: 

Das Droplet konnte nicht erstellt werden, Eine Datei mit dem Namen „Contents“ existiert bereits..

Ich bin langsam mit meinem Latein am ende. 

Unsere PhotoshopUser erstellen immer wieder Droplets aus Aktionen und brauchen hier eine praktikable Lösung, da diese auch keine Adminrechte haben. 

Irgendeiner eine IDEE woran das noch liegen kann

- Sicherheitseinstellung MacOS

- ProgrammBug  (unter Monterey funktionierte das alles noch)

- ggf. andere Vorgehensweise (sollte auch für den Normalen User machbar sein)

Danke schon mal für Eure Hilfe

Please advise - this is really messing us up.   Is there a fix or workaround?

Any update on this?

We're able to recreate this on macOS v15.4. I've shared it with the team for review & comment. 

Thanks for the details.
