P: Program error with actions that have save command in 24.3

When I use save in my Action I get that error when the file is about to save:

"photoshop could not complete your request because of a program error'"

Suddenly my "actions" in Photoshop aren't working anymore, a notice pops up when coming to saving and closing the file saying couldn't complete command because of  a program error.. I've deleted and reimported my actions but unfortunately it didn't help. Has this anything to do with Photoshop and Bridge updating ?

Hi, I've searched for solutions but to no avail. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I have a bunch of actions I made so that I can batch place images in frame mock-ups. All of these mock-ups use smart objects. Recently, I've been getting an error whenever the action reaches the step of saving the smart object after it has been edited. A box pops up with "Could not complete the command because of a program error". I can save the smart object manually, no problem. I even found a workaround for the action by recording "close --> save". As in, closing the smart object and choosing 'yes' when it asks if I want to save the changes. Somehow, that runs smoothly within the action. I don't really want to use this workaround though, because it means changing dozens of actions I've already made. Anyone know why this error would occur only when saving smart objects while playing an action?

I'm using the latest version of Photoshop | on a PC | I've tried reverting preferences to default; it didn't help | I checked the GPU compatibility and it's fine.

The new version of Photoshop v 24.3 has problems when executing the created actions. "The command could not be completed due to a program error" error message.

Thank you, I may be able to get a solution using my server;s software. Fingers crossed

Thank you, I was trying to avoid that but may not have the option.  Appreciated.

You could try duplicating the action and removing any opening/saving steps, then use Image Processor or another similar batch script to process the files using the action:

@michaels8853254  The temporary workaround is to run and work with the rest of the version except 24.3.
As far as I know, at least in "24.3", it doesn't work normally when commands related to batch and save are entered.

I have 2500 files waiting to upload to my server after running the same batch watermarking process I have used for over 20 years. Please, if you have the fix then post an update.  I have clients with not a lot of patience.

Thank you for the quick answer.
