Mac - PS 26.4.1 droplets broken

[bellevue scott]

This is on Mac Sequoia. Adobe PS 26.4.1

Old droplets run. But now when I try and create new ones, I get this error that says droplet is broken, would I like to move it to the trash. How might I fix this latest in a (rant) long history of PS droplets breaking?

steps in this droplet are: resize to 50%, save as PNG. Close. 

 

thanks

Odd: "This file was downloaded on an unknown date."

Was it created on another machine?

--update--

one search of Help -- Ps>Help>create droplet -- found instructions for troubleshooting droplets on Windows. I could find no help on Mac.

But, I saw something in the help text that I will guess should go for Mac as well as Windows:

Thanks. This droplet was just created, and on the same machine. Nothing was uninstalled.

More trying. I tried saving a copy rather than "save as" in the actions. But that didn't help. I don't know why it says "this file was downloaded from the internet on an unknown date" because I just created it seconds before I ran it, same machine, same PS.

With the Droplet selected go to Apple>System Settings>Privacy & Security>Security and click Open Anyway for the Droplet.

Thanks. This works. Sort of. I did this but then the first time I ran the droplet I got this message again: 

 I selected  "cancel" and then it asked me for my admin password and proceeded. 

I can't believe that Mac has devolved to this level of unusability. The need to do this every single time I create a droplet is beyond the pale unusable, but given the related issues I've seen since Sequoia, this is much more likely Apple than Adobe. 

thanks for the help.

I posted this on the forums at Apple.com and they deleted it. This is a Mac bug caused by their new security.

I really think Adobe needs to deal with this. Again, yesterday and today I was making droplets, and this has so messed with my productivity that it has made PS almost unusable for some things. There has to be a way for Adobe to make it so you don't have to approve every single droplet.
