'Allow Tool Recording' in Actions window is grayed out.

Trying to record the eyedropper tool but it won't let me change the 'Allow Tool Recording' setting. WHY? Am I selecting the wrong part of the action?

Are you using the ScriptListener plugin? If so, turn it off (rename the file with ~ at the beginning)

[ethank59616381]

I am, but putting the ~ in front just creates a new .log file

He probably meant .8li file in Plug-ins of your Photoshop folder.

Do you have ScriptingListener.plugin in the plugins-Folder? 

If so try removing it and restarting Photoshop. 

Edit: Wasn’t fast enough … 

[ethank59616381]

Haha...clearly I'm anxiously awaiting the solution.

This worked perfectly, thank you!

[c.pfaffenbichler]

I meant that I had missed DmitryEgorov’s post that had already pointed out the issue. 

[ethank59616381]

Actually yours is what worked

[Kukurykus]

jazz-y solution was what worked surely too. You changed name of wrong file, an output one.
