Organizing Sets Of Actions - Adobe PHOTOSHOP 5.0 User Manual

Organizing sets of actions

To help you organize your actions, you can create
sets in which to place them and save the sets to
disk. You can organize sets of actions for different
types of work—for example, such as print
publishing and online publishing—and transfer
sets to other computers. You can save only the
entire contents of the selected set in the Actions
palette, not individual actions.
(Unsaved actions are automatically saved to a
temporary file called Actions Palette.psp
(Windows) or Actions Palette (Mac OS) in the
Adobe Photoshop Settings folder within the
Adobe Photoshop folder. If this temporary file is
lost or removed, any unsaved actions you may
have created will be lost. Be sure to use the Save
Actions command in the Actions palette to save
your actions to a separate actions file so you can
load them later, and to keep them safe.)
Replacing a saved set of actions replaces all existing
actions. Loading a saved set adds to existing
actions, with new ones appearing at the bottom of
the Actions palette.
