How to use a droplet to create an action in Photoshop

[Dustin42]

Is there a way to use a droplet to create a Photoshop action?  I created the action a while back, but I need to make an adjustment.  Since then I lost the original action file (.atn).  Can I somehow import the droplet into Photoshop as an action?  Or maybe how can I turn a droplet (.exe) into an action (.atn) file?

There are scripts to extract the embedded action from the droplet.

Search the forum.

The links are very helpful.  I did find x tools but was having a bit of trouble figuring it out but ran out time last week.  I'll check out that first link as well.  Thanks very much for the help!

Download the entire xtool repo and unzip to a folder. Then run the droplet decompiler script from the apps folder using File > Scripts > Browse:

...xtools v2.3/apps/DropletDecompiler.jsx
