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

So this road has been closed for MANY YEARS! 

Adobe - just remove it from the app since you can't get it fixed. 

DEI!

So when a road is closed for construction do you scream endlessly about it and then go home and sulk, or do you drive around like everyone else? Life has detours. Adobe is working on a fix. SMDH.

I am not confusing users and resent that comment. Batching is not a replacement for droplets. With droplets you can specifiy save as and location and other perameters which have to be manually entered every single time with batch. Droplets are broken and there is not a sufficient workaround. Period. 

IT HASN'T WORKED FOR A VERY LONG TIME!

SORRY BUT WHEN I PAY FOR SOMETHING - I WANT IT TO WORK!

Yelling about it doesn't get the bug fixed any faster. 

Can you go into PS and create a droplet and PS not give you an error. NO!

We pay for an app to work, not to have to research workarounds. MAYBE ADOBE NEEDS TO DO A BETTER JOB!

What YOU may consider acceptable and what others may be ok with might differ. Please don't spread misinformation.

For anyone else reading, there have been multiple workarounds posted in this topic.

No, there are no workarounds to this issue.

Yes there are, what's your aim by confusing users on purpose? Droplets are self-contained actions for batching with "1 click drag-n-drop". Even without them you still got ways to batch images using same actions you would use to create droplets, it's just going to be 4 clicks instead of 1 - in my opinion its not the end of the world but I would also prefer if it was just working as intended.

No, there are no workarounds to this issue. The suggestion of using Bridge etc are not acceptable workarounds and this functionality is in fact crippled at this time. 

Currently the only way to create a droplet is with macOS 15.3 or earlier. As of macOS 15.4 the Droplet creation process is broken and the resulting folder cannot be fixed.
