Actions removed after Update on 2021 - old data too

[fehmij24388241]

Hi, over the weekend Adobe Cloud automatically updated on 2021. I always used an older verson of Photoshop cause of my custom actions. Now, all actions are lost. I cant find the actions in the older index-folders.

All data from PS 19 and 20 are empty. No .atn-data.... 

What shall i do now?! I need this actions.

I cant go back on a update on windows

Unsaved Photoshop actions are stored in the Actions Palette:

Actions Palette.psp

https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/script-to-help-back-up-photoshop-settings/td-p/11517871

The location of the Actions Palette.psp file can be found in locations similar to:

Mac:

/Users/username/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop ??? Settings/Actions Palette.psp

If the path has changed for later versions of Photoshop on the Mac, it should be easy enough to find working forwards from the Preferences folder listed above.

Win:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop\???\Adobe Photoshop ??? Settings\Actions Palette.psp

C:\Users\username\appData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop ???\Adobe Photoshop ??? Settings\Actions Palette.psp

P.S. Change "username" for your user account name. On Windows OS, the AppData directory is hidden by default.

The best practice is to manually save out each action set individually to a .atn (action) file using the menu on the upper right of the action palette window.

Good luck!

Holy, that worked! Thanks a lot!

Your welcome!

Now, please do yourself a favour and manually save each action set to a .atn file and back them up!
