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?

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.


Have you tried to reset preferences?

To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"

Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.

Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.

Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
