My previously created Photoshop batch commands have vanished! Does anyone know whereabouts they're saved on a desktop Mac? Thanks

Give us more details: after recording your own actions/correct me if I am wrong/ have you saved them or not? Did you experienced some crash after recording actions? By default actions recorded in Photoshop are temporary saved/present in the Actions panel and you can use them. Actions are available but not saved on hard drive so you can count them as temporary thing without saving them as action set which can be loaded and reloaded as many times as you need to.

File > Automate > Batch uses actions... Do you perhaps mean actions?

as I saved them quite a few years ago

Where is saved that action set? Somewhere on your hard drive? This article may help you Photoshop preference file functions, names, locations


Thanks Bojan

I found this file following the path you pointed me towards....

But can't see any way to load it - or an earlier version which may include the missing actions - into Photoshop.

There is a 'Load actions' option on the Actions window, but it doesn't seem to recognise this file type.
