@wally1914 that's weird.... when I did a search for 'free shapes' and click to download, I get the following

I had to look at what file type that was, and it says '.csh files are C shell scripts.

its listed in photoshop as custom shape. i  dowloaded a number of them. they are a single files each giving you about 20 plus shapes in a single file. i guess i just dont understand how to or if  it can be done to save each shape in each file as a separate custom shape in photoshop. if this can be done, any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

I guess I don't get that csh files. I am working on a MAC though. Not sure if that helps? Are you using a PC or Linux?

I am not sure if Adobe Stock can handle .csh files; for that type of shapes, check Adobe Exchange https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/browse/cc?page=1&product=PHSP&sort=RELEVANCE

thanks. i saw nothing their for photoshop that was less than 10 years old or had a positive rating. i guess.csh or at least newer one's has ceased to be a thing. i will have to create my own i guess.

It does not matter how old the shapes or uploaded files are; ignore their age. You can also safely disregard ratings because people often have unrealistic expectations, expecting plugins to work perfectly. Most users on Exchange come with these misconceptions and little prior experience. They tend to be vocal when files or extensions do not meet their beginner expectations. I'm not sure why it is like that. I have the same files on multiple platforms; on other platforms, the average rating is 4.5 stars, while on Adobe Exchange, the same files usually receive 1.5 stars.
