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

Workarounds are a vital and on-topic part of any bug report. Adobe has acknowledged this issue and there really isn't anything to discuss, beyond explaining and offering possible ways around the problem to those who don't know.

Been using Droplets for a long time now, but since Sequoia 15.5 the droplet facility in Photoshop has stopped working all together.

can someone please help solve this or find a work around.

I have tried the system Privacy&Security  settings but this does not work on my Mac M2.

@Scott_BFAR@Aaron Tipton  go back to the first post and maybe read again whats the last sentence/question in it...

 

Sorry for proposing alternative solution to issue Adobe/Apple doesnt seem to care about, I didnt mean to hurt your feelings with it

M-H you're getting a lot of hate because you're off topic with Bridge and your telling people how to manage their updates and you're being rude.

There is no fix as of now. The only way to create a Droplet now is in macOS 15.3x or earlier. If've you've upgraded to macOS 15.4 or later you can no longer create a Droplet.

That's not the issue for many of us.
It's that we cannot even CREATE a droplet; let alone RUN a droplet without a setting workaround.

C'mon ADOBE, APPLE, get your stuff together!

I can not create a Droplet. When I try to save it out, it gives me this error. 

Could not complete the Create Droplet command because the file was not found.

 

Anyone have a fix?

You are noone to me to be telling me what to do or not to do especially I wasnt even talking to you! If you cant do the same in Bridge as you would with droplets the only problem is you and there is nothing Adobe or other forum users can do to help, just learn more!

This discussion is about how a widely used feature of Photoshop is now broken. We are all aware of batching and Bridge and other workarounds, but they simply do not have the same functionality as a droplet. Please try to stay on topic here. Thanks!
