Hello Community,

I had a look around but can't find my solution.

I recently upgraded my Apple OS from 10.6 to 10.9. I was using Photoshop CS for my small needs as my main RAW covnerter is Capture One and have upgraded to CS4.

I forgot to export the actions (scripts) that I had done.

I can't seem to locate them in the CS folder on the app folder and in the library.

Anyone has a solution ?

Thanks in advance for oyur help and Best Wishes for the New Year.

Denis

The file in question is ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings/Actions Palette.psp for CS6. Change the version tag as appropriate. All of the Action Sets are stored in there.

You can use this script

http://ps-scripts.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ps-scripts/xtools/apps/ActionsPaletteToFiles.jsx

to read the psp file and write out .atn files for each Action Set.

Sorry xbytor2 but I am looking for the folder for CS1.

I have no Adobe folder in the pref, only one for the licence.

After further investigation it looks like some of the actions were automatically transfered to CS4 via an update from CS to CS3 then CS4.

I still look for a folder with a file containing those other actions.

I ran your backup code in CS2 and it did back up my actions.


Thanks for checking. I'll see if I have a CS installation disk somewhere and see if I can get this straightend out there.

Actions go in the Actions folder under Presets.  Scripts go in the Scripts folder under Presets.
