A 'Team' Actions palette

[seans94943058]

I manage a team of Photoshop users and we all rely on Actions and Scripts a lot. Does anybody know of any way to have Photoshop read off a 'centralized' Actions palette? This way the palette can be updated and modified and changes sync to all users 'reading' that palette.

Thanks

It might be possible to put an alias/shortcut in place of the .psp file, but Photoshop might ignore it or it could cause unforeseen issues (untested).

If the actions had any saved local file paths or cross platform paths then this would be a problem, but you'd probably already have these issues now.

Probably best to just reload and  "reset" from a centralised repository.

Another option might be using Script Events Manager to link a Script to the starting of Photoshop that copies Scripts from a network volume and loads Actions from the network volume. 

I haven’t tested this, either, and it obviously would only »refresh« the Scripts and Actions on starting Photoshop, so »interim« changes to the files on the network volume would go unnoticed.
