Actions are gone... [SOLVED]

Question

UPDATE: I was able to go back to one of my backup disks and find the Actions Palette.psp file and replace the old one.

Anyone facing the same issue, if you're on a Mac, this is where the file is (hopefully you have a backup disk and you are able to retrieve the old file):

~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 2020 Settings/Actions Palette.psp (of course this last folder's name might change depending on your version of Photoshop).

-----

Today I was working on some AppleScript stuff and I couldn't make one of them work with Photoshop so I just tried renaming the original app file and even moving it out of the original Adobe Photoshop 2020 folder.

After running some tests, I put it back with the original name.

Now when I opened PS, my actions are gone...

It only shows the default ones. I have some old ones saved, that I saved manually, but some of them weren't.

Anyone knows what could have happened and how to recover them?

I'm on a Mac btw.

Thank you so much for any tips you can share!

Thanks for the reply Stephen.While waiting for a reply, I kept doing some research and I found another thread where someone mentioned the Actions Palette.psp file.Luckily, as paranoid as I am with backups (I have 3 disks that I use daily, several times a day), I was able to go back and retrieve that file that was updated this morning, before I messed up with the app.Now everything is back, already created manual copies and will create backups of them weekly, just in case &#128521; Thanks for the tip anyway!!

Info here, however, unless you have saved them as .atn files or have a Time Machine or other backup, you may have lost them:
