Add warning dialog when creating new Action Sets
I hate to float the idea of adding yet another warning/nag popup to Photoshop, however, this should have been there since Actions were first added to Photoshop.
I am proposing that when a new Action Set is created, that a pop-up window be triggered warning the user that unless the set is saved to .atn file, that the action is only temporary and may be lost/reset.
This proposed nag screen would have a "don't show again" checkbox. New users don't appreciate this fact and need to be warned at least once. Knowledgeable users can simply check the box to ignore.
The forum is littered with "lost actions" topics, which could have been avoided by explicitly making this point.
So many wasted hours of end-user work in recreating lost Actions could be saved with this simple warning. So much frustration that could have been avoided.
Users should read the manual, but this clearly isn't the case.
Examples topics to add weight to this request (and there are so many more, this is just a small sampling):
