Photoshop v 26 cannot run Image Processor or other scripts from Application folder.

Question

When I try to run Image Processor from within Photoshop or from Bridge, I get the message "JavaScript code was missing". I get the same or similar with other script functions (see screenshots) and when browsing to other scripts I have manually placed in the Presets>Scripts folder.

This is a brand new Mac. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop from Creative Cloud with and without removing preferences, as well as both v 26.0 and v 26.10. I have since installed v 25.12.4 and the scripts all run without problem. It seems like v 26 is unable to access the Applications folder or something? I have checked the scripts are present where they should be, and can be run if placed in another location.

The only related article I found was talking about a similar issue when launching Photoshop with Rosetta, which I am not doing.

System:

Photoshop v 26.0 and v 26.10

Macbook Pro M2 Max, OS 15.7

Hey @Matthew5E2A,

I'm moving your post to the discussion where we can get more eyes on your post, specifically because this is regarding scripting. In the meantime, can you share your system info for Photoshop? You can find this by going to Help > System Info, then copying and pasting it into a text file to attach here. When you say "can be run if placed in another location." What location are you moving it too?
