@patricktheart  If you lose your preferences in minor dot updates, something's wrong, like not having full administrator privileges in your user account.   With a major whole-number version update, preferences do not carry over, they never have. There is an option to migrate preferences, but I don't recommend it because of the high risk of accumulated errors carrying over as well.   As for actions, brushes, anything that can be saved out - save out and keep it in a safe place. Then it can always be easily reloaded. ... View more

Save as, does not include .jpg anymore! By @idimtsas    JPEG is a rather restrictive format, requiring: A flattened image (no floating layers), 8 bpc, no alpha channels. If the current file doesn’t meet this criteria, then one has to Save a Copy, or enable Legacy Save As in your File Handling Preferences/Settings.   If your file is in 32 bpc mode, then it needs to first be converted to 16 or 8 bpc before Save a Copy/Legacy Save As can list JPEG.   Note that Export As silently performs background conversions so that JPEG is always available without having to take extra steps. ...

Hello, it's been a while!  Sicnce the Adobe "engineers" are hopeless (They really are, they can connect to your PC to find a simple solution, and you can see by the operator, they barely can use a computer and never resolving any issues), did you find any solution exept opening and saving a different file, or restarting the computer?  Thanks a lot! ...

I found unexpected randomness when PS placed the images - the images were mostly centered; but not quite. You enabled me to automate what I was having to do manually - it's euphoric when I can automate such things. By @musekic   The Place command and Smart Objects use the PPI value of the raster images being placed and the PPI value of the receiving document to determine sizing. So I am not sure if that is part of the issue with placement and centre alignment or not. ... View more

I was also having this issue, and your thread was referenced from my thread, wanted to post here in case it helped you or anyone else that I've determined the cause in my case was having  app.doAction("action","set"); in the script. If you comment that out temporarily to record it it records fine. There may be other "problem" lines that also trigger this, so if you weren't scripting an action, just comment your entire file, record it as a step, then uncomment it and it should continue to work fine. Unideal, but better than not being able to record it, or having to rearrange your entire file organization to put things in the Presets / Scripts folder.  ... View more

If your files consistently contain Path 1, then do not select a path before converting to a selection. Instead, use Ctrl + click on the path's thumbnail to load the selection while recording; it should work without any issues. I believe you always have Path 1 in your files because there isn't an Insert Path step.   Here is how action should appear from the outset: ... View more
