Droplets not working MacOS Sonoma

[Wetouch Imagework]

On earlier MacOS you were able to right click the droplet as explained in this thread https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/photoshop-droplet-not-working-for-mac...

This is no longer a solution on Sonoma. 

Have tried to create action and then droplet from scratch. Action runs as it should, but the droplet just get the message that it is damaged.

Anybody have an idea as to how we can fix this?

Nobody got a fix for this?

Looks like a Sonoma issue. Current PS build on Ventura install works without issue.

Yeah all of our machines are on Ventura, but Macbook Pro M3 had Sonoma installed unfortunately.

Photoshop 25.5.1 fixed the issue and it now works!

I have PS 25.12.0 and droplets do NOT work on Sonoma (

Hi,

Photoshop droplets work in Ventura if we Open the droplet as discussed but on Sonoma - the droplets will not work. The action works but will not save into a different folder - it edits the file and saves over the original. I cannot even get this to work if I try to use the batch function. Can anyone help me?

I did forget to mention this is for Photoshop 2022 and 2024. Neither works.

jillb17,

Can you post a screenshot of the action with the steps open?

Also of the Batch settings.

Your updated to the latest Photoshop 2024 (ps ver 25.7)?

Hi Jeff, 
I am attaching the action steps used for the droplet and the batch settings. We are able to get this to work on Ventura sometimes by right clicking on the droplet and opening. This did work in photoshop 2022 correctly for awhile - then just quit working. I tried recreating the droplet to no avail. I also tried recreating the action to no avail. 
We have the latest photoshop version of 2024. 
Thank you,

Jill Banks

jillb17,

I don't think you need the Close step when you use the action in a Droplet.

These are the action steps and Droplet settings that work here on macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 with ps 25.7

Hi Jeff,

I took the close off - it is still upscaling / upresing the file where it sits, it is not moving to the hi res folder. 
Thank you for you help.

Could you post a screenshot of the Droplet settings?

(File>Automate>Create Droplet)

[jillb17247237]

Hi,

Here you go. 

thank you again for your time.

When you create the droplet uncheck Override Action "Save As" Commands and see if that makes a difference.

Hi Jon,

I am closer now, it is saving a 'hires' file to the High res folder. But it is still resing up original image as well - in the folder it sits in. So I have 2 sets of 300x300 images and no original lo res image. 
I tried taking out the last step in the action - which was the 'save' step and it is still doing the same thing. 
Thank you so much,
Jill

What is funny is - I have a droplet that changes the dimensions on an image to be a 300 x 300 thumbnail. This droplet works as it should - leaves the originals alone and saves the new thumbnails to a different folder.

Try opening the Droplet using right click. Make sure the Droplet is open, then quit it.

Now try...

I found a fix: the reason is that OS thinks that the droplet is from unidentified developer and blocks it, strangely, silently...

Open System Setting > Privacy and Security, click on Open Anyway, then Open and you should see the droplet icon appearing in the doc. You can now quit it: the droplet will work again.
