Actions: Photoshop and Illustrator Do Not Record (File > Save)

On a related but different point, not all operations can be recorded into an action (such as view options fit to screen). There is an option to insert a menu item for such items.

When Export As was first introduced, it wasn't recordable, nor could it be successfully inserted as a menu item in actions and would error with an unknown menu item message when played. Somewhere along the way with Adobe updates, it is now possible to insert the menu item for Export As, but not record anything within the window.

I meant, 'Bojan' sorry about that!

Thank you Bjan! This works, 'Instead of Export As, which was never recordable, use Save for Web (Legacy).' 

Kind regard,

I reinstalled the entire application from the cloud. I will try resetting ... I'm using

v25.40

Hello, 'Export As, which was never recordable' I thought I had done this the past. Pretty sure, I've done batch File > Save > while recording.

Instead of Export As, which was never recordable, use Save for Web (Legacy).

I don't have any issues with Photoshop 25.4.0 stable on Windows.

You can try resetting your preferences, but be aware that this will erase any unsaved actions. Alternatively, you can provide more details about your system, Photoshop version and the steps that led to the problem.

It makes no sense that I can no longer create an action that does one thing. Select > File > Export >Export As > change the 'image size' > SAVE ...

I can't record select (File) This doesn't work ... Select > File > doesn't work ...
