Hi

I have created an Adobe Photoshop extension for Photoshop 2018. I need to run few actions and in order to do so I have placed actions in user specific presets folder for the application and on extension load I am loading actions in Photoshop. But when I execute the code to load actions in Photoshop, it refreshes photoshop after loading each action. I tried the same code from extension builder and got the same result.

Code used to load action :

strAppDataPath ->user specific app data path

app.load(new File(strAppDataPath + '/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC 2018/Presets/Actions/ABC.atn'));

Please guide. Its urgent.
Thanks!

Using where? In JSX file that you run or in some kind of extension.

What do you mean when you say "it refreshes photoshop after loading each action"?

Everything is working well for me.

This code is executed in 0.05 seconds.

$.hiresTimer;
load(new File("F:\\Untitled.atn"));
load(new File("F:\\Untitled2.atn"));
load(new File("F:\\Untitled3.atn"));
//refresh()
alert("Done in " + ($.hiresTimer/1000000).toFixed(2) + " seconds", "Timer");

If you uncomment the line //refresh(), then execution takes place in 1 second.
