Actions warning notice

PHOTOSHOP 2022. When I open Photoshop I get a warning that says "the command play is not currently available". It's pertaining to my actions but I don't know how to turn this off or to correct it. Any help? I'm using a Macbook pro 2012 but refurbished.

Correct answer Stephen Marsh

Thanks, yes, that's the issue, you have assigned the "Steve Perry's Web Sharpen" action to the open document event in the Script Events Manager.

 

Do you really wish to automatically sharpen every file you open???

 

The open document doesn't meeet the requirements of the action, thus the error.

 

Without seeing the action steps, I can't comment on why the file structure doesn't match the action steps, at a guess, it's most probably a layer naming issue.

Could you please post a screenshot of your entire screen with the Actions panel expanded and visible when the warning appears?
