Photoshop CS and script folder location

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.

Ok. Here is what I found. On windows, the factions file is
~ /AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Photoshop/8.0/Adobe Photoshop CS Settings/Actions Palette.psp.lnk
WTF? Anyway, I copied the file to ~/Desktop, fired up CS6 and extracted all of the contained actions set.
The command
find ~/AppData/ -name "*.psp*"
will work to find the settings file on Windows (in a unix shell like cygwin).
The command
find ~/Library/ -name "*.psp*"
Should work on OS X.

Is it possible to change the Presets Scripts Folder Location?

Hi,
I work with Photoshop on a daily basis for my job, but my company has the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Scripts folder admin-locked (due to it's location in the Program Files folder. I've already asked IT, but they told me that they are unfortunately unable to give me access to that folder because my user profile can't be given admin-rights (due to company policy). I'd really like to change the location of the scripts folder so that I can add some scripts of my own to be able to use in Photoshop.
Is this possible or is there any sort of workaround?
Thank you all in advance!

You can always use browse to go to a different location - I know it's not ideal, but it does tend to remember that folder once you navigate to it. I would push your IT people about getting you access to that folder. I also work in for a company that severely limits access to program files, but I made my case that I need to have access to the Photoshop subfolders to do my job. They should be able to grant you access to just that folder.

Multiple Libraries and Music Folder Locations

I'm stumped.
I keep three libraries on my MacBook Pro. The folder structure for where the library and xml files live is basically:
~\Music\iTunes\ATV
~\Music\iTunes\Pete
~\Music\iTunes\Jen
Each library is associated with its own Music Folder, on an external hard drive, like so:
External\Contents\Main
External\Contents\PJP
External\Contents\JLP
I have iTunes manage the music files, keep things organized, and copy songs into the Music Folder.
When I open the "Pete" library, for example (by holding down Option when I click on iTunes in the Dock), it opens fine. I do what I need to do there, and quit iTunes. Now, somewhat suddenly, when I open the "Jen" library next (again by holding down Option while launching iTunes to select that library file), the location of the Music Folder in Preferences->Advanced has been changed to the location of the last library's Music Folder. In other words, the library should be pointing to \Contents\JLP, but instead is pointing to \Contents\PJP.
I can change the location of the Music Folder (a fairly long process), but the next time I open up a different library, the Music Folder location is similarly incorrect.
I imagine I'm just tired and overlooking a fairly easy fix/cause of this behavior, but it escapes me and I'll be grateful for your help.
Cheers.

I have noticed this happen when the computer temporarily loses a link to the external drive it reverts to the locally stored music folder but reverts to the external drive when it is available again. Don't know if a similar issue is what is happening here if so it may be something to do with the refresh rate at which your computer communicates with the external drive.

Installing/deploying CS4 and dynamic Folder location

I've utilsed the admin tool to create the install and uninstall xml files for a CS$ deployment. I found that it static to be installed from a network location, could this be changed to have it pushed as a deployment of MDT or CA DISM?
I would like to push it as a package, silent install, supress prompts for registration, updates, ect.. within a dynamic location or package.
Right now, I've pulled info from online and got too the point where the back returns error code 7.. then fails.
I have another test package pointing to a network share and ot works fine. Any ideas?

Can I change Illustrator's Script folder location?

Is it possible to change the location of where illustrator looks for scripts, or is it possible to add a location?

Not sure if it is possible from what I have seen. But I could be un/misinformed. ;-)
You can have a slug script per say, that is merely used as a reference file, that uses an #include statement to reference a script location.
// Example:
#include /origPath/subPath/continuedPath/blahBlah/fileLocation/scriptName.js
I did also see the following, which talks about going in and manually altering presets, which may be an option but not too simple to maintain perhaps. If it does work let us know.

Photoshop CS5 and script issue

i finally found the script that allows u to export layers to file. i was so excited as in my business i have to do this a LOT!!! problem is it FULLY locks EVERY SINGLE layer. can't fix it with the old double click and give it a name. can't add a layer. can't do anything. the layer is now rendered USELESS! great if i'm sending all those layers to a client to look at i guess.
how to i make it NOT lock or unlock it. i have a deadline tonight and now have 400 layers i have to created one by one before midnight because i thought i was done 2 days ago.
and thanks for any help because adobe inc help sucks.
jacque

It sounds like your using png-8 which would give you files in the index color mode
and that would be why you can't unlock the layers. You would need to choose
Image>Mode>RGB to unlock the layers.
If you want transparent pngs, use png-24. You can also use psd or tiff to maintain transparency.

Hi,
You got 2 solutions for your problem:
1- If you have permission to run scripts in the remote computer without specifying your credential,
then, the first reply solve your problem.
2- If you have permission to run scripts in the remote computer
having to specify your credential, l then,
my solution solves your problem.
If the remote computer requires signed scripts only, you need signed script. Period. Or are you trying to break remote computer security?
If you need signed script, there's no psdrive that'll circumvent such requirement.
The problem is that the execution policy is set to "RemoteSigned". Using the URL explicitly tags that script as being from a remote source, and the policy blocks it. The PSDrive provides a local reference for the script. It does not
sign the script but the local drive reference may prevent it from being blocked for being from a remote source. I'll test that later.
Script signing is not and should never be considered a security measure. It is easily circumvented by running the script using powershell.exe, and using the -ExecutionPolicy parameter to override whatever the local execution policy setting is.

Why do files disappear from Display Folder Location?

I have various folders with about 20 to 100 files in each one. I click on one of the pictures then choose Editor, Full Edit. I make a simple edit and save the file back to the same folder and name and close the file in the Editor. I return to the Organizer and display Folder Location. All the files that were in that folder are not displayed, just the one I edited. I tried various combinations of Show All Files, Add Unmanaged Files to Catalog, and Get Photos and Videos and none of them bring back the missing files. This happens repeatedly in any folder. The only thing that worked the first time this happened was to delete the entire catalog and recreate it. This however, is a lot of work. If I look at the folder from the OS point of view (XP Pro SP3) the files are in fact there and all pictures are fine. But they are not visible to the Oraganizer.
Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Folder and Sub-Folder Batch load Script

What I'm looking for I'm not ever sure is possible, but what I need is a script that will search for predefined sub-folder names within a specific "root" folder and run a script I have to load those images into a Photoshop document found within the root folder. When loading these images, it will also need to place the images into a specific group within the Photoshop document, depending on the sub-folder that contained them. So images in the sub-folder "A" need to be loaded into the group "A" in the Photoshop document, images in sub-folder "B" into group "B" and so-on. The number and name of images within the sub-folders are, however, random; so this would also need to be accounted for. Additionally, if possible, I would like the script to ask the user to locate this root folder each time before proceeding; otherwise, if not possible, a static folder location can also be used. Thanks for any help!

Profile-mismatches as in: When the container document and the image to be placed are of different Color Spaces (different ICC-profiles).
Could you give this a try (on a copy of your files naturally); it places as Smart Objects (depending on your Photoshop > Preferences > General settings), but you could always rasterize after the import or chenge the preference in the Scripts and reset it at the end:
// place png-files from a folder and its contained folders with groups to represent those in jpg-files;
// 2011, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
// select folder;
var theFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("select folder");
if (theFolder) {
// get the jpgs;
var theJpgs = getJpgFiles(theFolder);
// iterate through the jpg files;
for (var m = 0; m < theJpgs.length; m++) {
var theDoc = app.open(new File(theJpgs[m]));
// thanks to xbytor;
var theName = theDoc.name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
// place the png-files in groups coresponding to the folders;
placeFolderFiles(theFolder, theDoc, theName)
////// ceck for jpgs //////

Photoshop CS6. Save for Web Problem - Don't remember folder location

Hi!
Found one more problem with Save For Web in Photoshop CS6.
Example:
1. New Document
2. Choose - Save for web
3. In dialog window Photoshop CS6 offer to save in - os My Document Folder
4. Ok, every time I don't really need to save in os folders - I save files to my folders. So, change folder ...for example to disc D
5. Create another New document
6. Choose Save for web
7. And.... - Photoshop CS6 offer to save my file in os My Documents AGAIN !!!
So, in fact it's real uncomortable!!! ...if I save different files for web frequently ....I need every time change My Documents....it makes me nervous.......
Here - compare with CS3: CS3 remember "old" folder location even at another session (for example - after reload os)
Is there any fix this problem?
p.s. Testing on:
OS - windows 7 64 bit
cs6 - 64 bit extended
cs3 - 64 bit extended

Noel, Yes! In your example everything works like on your video. May be my explanation was not so clear, so...I'm trying to describe in more details.
I don't know how to make video & animated gif by capture the screen...so I'll try to explain by words
1. Start CS6
2. Make New Document
3. Save for Web (save parametres are: JPEG, HIGH etc....I think it doesn't matter)
4. CS6 offer "My Documents"
5. Change the way to "Disc D"
6. Save it by name for example "Untitled-1".... & close window "Save for web"
7. Choose "Save for Web" again
....So, at this step - CS6 remember my current location "Disc D" even I open other file & use command "Save for web"...it saves to Disc D. Everything is ok.
....continue:
8. Shut down the CS6
9. Run it again
10. Create new file or....even open saved file on disc D in previous session - "Untitled-1"
11. Save for Web
So, it's final: CS6 offer the "My documents" AGAIN
....continue:
12. Run CS6 - Make New File - Save for Web to disc D by name "Untitled-1"
13. Keep the photoshop session & create new document...let's call it "Untitled-2" - so, now I have 2 files opened in CS6: "Untitled-1" (it was saved on disc D before) & new "Untitled-2"
14. So if I'll try to save second file "Untitled-2" fo web CS6 offer the way "My documents" AGAIN!
p.s. Tryied to do the same on CS3 - Shut down CS3 2-3 times, opened different files, create new docs - there's no trouble. In global - CS3 remember last way (in my case it's "Disc D") & doesn't change it by itself. In fact working in CS3 I din't feel any problems with this command "Save for Web", that's the reason I didn't write any questions on forums etc..... But starting to try CS6 I really feel it makes the work to change every time the folder ways not so comfortable...so I wrote the question here
p.s. 2 In spite of I didn't work in CS4-CS5 cause it were not comfortable in my opinion....now I wanted to test "save for web" in CS5. Trouble is the same even during one session:
1. Run CS5
2. Create new document
3. Save for web - CS5 offer "My Dociment", change it to "disc D" - save - ok
4. Shut down, run CS5 again
5. Create New, or even Opened old saved file to disc D (for example from step 3) - CS5 offer the way "My documents" again
I hope this my explanation was more clear to understand

Anyone know where the photoshop cs5 essential font folder is located?

anyone know where the photoshop cs5 essential font folder is located?
i know the windows font folder works, but adobe used to have a font folder of there own.
there is no C:\Program Files\Common Files\Fonts in cs5.
only
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\FontsRequired
and
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\FontsRecommended
which i did try.

The Adobe font folder is a goner. It is deprecated as of CS5 and no longer used. any fonts must be installed using your operating system's font management.

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.
