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

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.

Bevor ich hier jetzt den ganzen Verlauf durchlesen muss wäre es toll eine Lösung direkt zu bekommen.

Welche Lösungen gibt es den um ein funktionierendes Droplet zu bekommen? Freue mich auf eine Antwort 😉

Adobe will be releasing new versions of everything at Adobe MAX in October, probably around the timeframe that macOS Tahoe is released. Its possible that droplets are removed as a feature, or that we see a fix then. There are workarounds available if you read through this thread.

Adobe needs to fire their programmers and get back the ones who started Adobe. 

 

Why do we pay for a product that doesn't work?
