Question

Recorded Guide Layouts in Actions no longer update when a new version is released

We use a lot of action sets for work and I need to move them between computers. Previously, when i would record a script or a Guide Layout in a PS action, as long as i put them in /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2026/Presets/Guides, they would only display the name and not the exact path. This meant when I updated PS versions, the guides and scripts would relink seamlessly. 
This is no longer the case. 
Now my options are to re-record opening the script, load the preset, make one small change, then change it back, then press OK. This records the values but i lose the visual name of the custom guide showing in my action set. ALTERNATIVELY, i have to re-record the guide to the newest version location (which means i’d have to do that each time i update). 
Storing the guides outside of that location opens up a can of worms for when i move these action sets to another computer. Anyone have tips? Is this a bug?
