Where did my Actions go?

Question

I went to do some portrait retouching today, and all my Actions are gone. Why does this happen? How do I get them back? How do I prevent it from happening again in the future? This is so annoying...

@scotwllm – One should manually save out each action set "folder" individually to a .atn file using the menu on the upper right of the action panel window:

Loaded .atn files or newly created and unsaved action sets are temporarily stored in the Actions Palette presets file (Actions Palette.psp). This file should be considered temporary and may be subject to corruption or loss, which is why making an explicit save to .atn file for each individual action set is strongly advised.
