Question

Photoshop 2024 presets/scripts missing, where do scripts go now?

The Scripts folder inside the Presets folder does not exist in Photoshop 2024. I created one and put a script in it (tried extension js and jsx) and the script does not show up under file/scripts. I can run it fine from browse.

Is this feature reduction or did the folder move?

 

I also can't find any current docs on scripting, the latest is 2020. Is scripting going away?

 

An action that would run my script would also be OK. I have actions that run scripts, but no way to set that up anymore (I know there used to be a way, because I made those actions a few years ago,  but I can't find a way to do it now, and no way to duplicate and modify - there is no way to modify. Re-record does nothing.) Adding a menu item only gets me as far as opening file/scripts/browse, which is slightly helpful but not by much.

      Can you post a screenshot of the Adobe Photoshop Applications folder?

       

      Have you tried a unistall/reinstall of Photoshop 2024 using the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application?

        Sounds like your installation has some issues.

         

        I would backup custom actions, brushes and other presets and reset preferences.

        On Windows 10, I am seeing a Scripts folder inside of the Presets folder:

         

        It could be an installation issue. You could try uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling it.

         

        You could also use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool:

          What operating system are you using?

          Some of your other posts say Mac.

           

          On the Mac side the Scripts folder should be in

          /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2024/Presets

           

           

           

          There is no Scripts folder in

          /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 2024/Presets

            Mac, and there is no Scripts folder in /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2024/Presets

            If you put one there, the scripts do not show up in the menu.

            I tried adding a Scripts folder under application support as well, also did not work.

            I am restarting the app between tries.

            I did get a script into an action, by hitting record and running the script from browse. I did the same thing many times to the result of a completely empty action. Not sure what I did different this time.
