P: Actions Panel information displays <unknown> as of PS 23.5

[Riley Sweeney]

Issue: As of Photoshop 23.5, the actions panel does not display recorded information properly. Instead '<unknown>' can be seen. This is present when utilizing the Geographic Imager plugin georeferencer tool, and the Adobe Photoshop SDK Import Gradient plugin.

Photoshop version: 24.1.0 20221206.r.166 be4691b  x64
OS and version: Windows 11 64-bit

Steps to Reproduce: (Must have 'GradientImport' plugin installed)
1. Open Actions panel (Window > Actions)
2. Create new Action and begin recording
3. Click File>Import>GradientImport
4. Accept default settings and click Import
5. Click Done on the GradientImport dialog
5. Stop recording the action
6. Expand the Action 'Import' in the actions panel

Expected result: Photoshop actions panel should display
'Using AdobeSDK GradientImport
 Multi-import: import info list
 import info
 Rows:256 pixels
 Columns: 256 pixels
 Mode: rgb colour'

Actual result: Photoshop actions panel displays
'Using AdobeSDK GradientImport
 Multi-import: <unknown>
 <unknown>'

Steps to Reproduce: (Must have 'Geographic Imager' plugin installed)
1. Open attached georeferenced test image (Canada.tif)
2. Open Actions panel (Window > Actions)
3. Create new Action and begin recording
4. Click File>Automation>GI: Goereference
5. Click 'Solve' button
6. Select 'World_Gall_Stereographic' and click OK
7. Click OK on Georeference dialog
8. Stop recording the action
9. Expand the 'Georeference' Action in the actions panel

Expected result: Photoshop actions panel should display
'Goereference Method: By Control Points

Actual result: Photoshop actions panel displays
'Goereference Method: By Control Points
 Control Points Geodetic Format: Delimited Degrees Minutes Seconds

Have you tested this in the latest Photoshop 2023 (ps version 24.1)?

Yes, it is present in all Photoshop versions as of 23.5, including the latest 24.1

I've asked Tom Ruark, our plug-in developer liason, to take a look.

Looks like the "Import Video to Layers" is working. But not Gradient Import. Internal ticket reference is: PS-100996
