Playback Speed of Actions is not saved

[Hannes Drexl]

Each time I launch Photoshop, I have to go to the actions panel, select Playback Options and set it to accelerated. For some reason, step-by-step is the default, and changing this option is not saved after quitting Photoshop. Is there any way around this?

Using PS 24.7.0 on Windows 10.

I don't have this issue, however, you can record an action to set the playback mode to accelerated, and have the Script Events Manager play this action whenever Photoshop starts.

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

Strange, I can not reproduce either. As a last measure try with preference reset. Save all unsaved actions and presets before reseting prefs.

I found the cause of the problem. A script I was running regularily set the playback speed to Step By Step each time, but did not return it to Accelerated upon finishing.
