Create droplet problems - jpeg not application

Recently when I try to create a droplet from an action, it creates a jpeg rather than an executable file.
What I mean is, when I select the icon it has created in a finder window, the 'kind' attribute says that it is a jpeg rather than Application and as such I can't drop files onto it and have them execute the droplet.
When I try to save a droplet, the first field - Save droplet in. - always adds a .jpg extension to the name of the droplet I am trying to save. As soon as I delete even the first 'p' from jpg the hide extension checkbox get immediately checked, and so there is no way of me saving it as anything other than a .jpg
I have previously made droplets with this version of photoshop fine and they still work ok.
Any help appreciated.
P.S. I am using CS3 which I bought only two years ago and as such have had the big finger from Adobe phone support. Nice...

I've now come across several instances of this problem from other people posting on the internet.
My problem is that is adds a .jpeg extension, another one I've seen has a .pdf extension and someone else has had problems with a .abcdp extension always being added. Someone else had a problem with a .com and another with a .exe
Perhaps that once a droplet is saved once with an extension then the script is altered to save all droplet like this? I'm only guessing here...
This doesn't seem to be a new problem either as the .abcdp extension came from PS3, my own problems are with CS3 and the .pdf extension problem mentioned earlier was with CS4.
Unfortunately, I've still not found any answers.

    Yanking out a drive while it's being written to could corrupt the data. However, even if the drive isn't actively being written to, you could still corrupt the data. By default, most operating systems use what's called write caching to get better performance out of your computer. When you write a file to another drive—like a flash drive—the OS waits to actually perform those actions until it has a number of requests to fulfill, and then it fulfills them all at once (this is more common when writing small files). When you hit that eject button, it tells your OS to flush the cache—that is, make sure all pending actions have been performed—so you can safely unplug the drive without any data corruption.

  • Application cannot start because it cannot create needed files. Not enough disk space

    Hi,
        I have adobe director 11.5 and Macromedia MX 2004 versions installed in my machine. The projector created from the MX 2004 version used to work properly even after the 11.5 upgrade. I recently got the error  "Application cannot start because it cannot create needed files. Not enough disk space", whenever I run the projector. Has anyone come across this issue before?
    Thanks,
    Nandhini

    Where is the projector located?  Do you have read/write permissions in that folder?  This is a problem I have seen if I am running a projector on a network share where the projector will not be allowed to save files (temp files etc) in that folder.  Even if you don;t think it needs to save these files, it will come up with this error.  Try copying the file to your local machine and see if it works better.  If you are already running it on your local machine, and in a "safe" location within your user folder, then this is not the answer you are looking for and something else is going wrong.

    It's so annoying!! I have created a new Apple ID but after I click verify it just goes back to the previous page!!! It''s really frustrating I have tried for more than 4H, and the problem is not about the apple ID. I can download apps with the apple ID, which means IMessage is the problem! I restarted my iPad, I logged in and out of the apple ID in the store, AND YET IT STILL WON'T WORK, PLEASE HELP!

  • Recently when creating a new blank page, application freezes. have been using for years without a problem. Upgrade?

    recently when creating a new blank page, application freezes. have been using for years without a problem. Upgrade?

    When something that used to work stops doing so, the most likely culprit is corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list. Or you can choose Go to Folder from the Go menu in Finder & paste this line in the box:
    ~/Library/Preferences

  • I removed Microsoft Office 2008 but still get Microsoft Autoupdate for it.  I can't complete the upgrade because the application is gone.  Is there a trace of Office 2008 somewhere creating this problem?

    I removed Microsoft Office 2008 but still get Microsoft Autoupdate for it.  I can't complete the upgrade because the application is removed, but cannot make the auto update prompt go away either.  Is there a trace of Office 2008 somewhere creating this problem and how do I get rid of it?

    Thanks for the tip.  Went through the process on Microsoft's site and the files that were causing the issue were the com.microsoft files in Library-Preferences.  Removed all of those, then opened an Office 2011 application; had to go through some basic setup questions the first time, but I no longer get prompted upgrade 2008.

  • HT4623 International Missed calls on 4s do not show 00s before the number, which creates the problem of call back. Is it a Tecnical fault or a Setting problem?

    International Missed Calls on my i phone 4s do not reflect 00s which creates a problem of a Call Back. Is it a Tecnical inadequacy or a Setting problem?

    It has righted itself. I am not sure how. But I turned off the Powerbook. And on the MacBook Air, I made sure to change the MAC number to the MacBook Air one.
    I restarted the MacBook Air. Now, the internet radio is working well, no rebuffering the stream every ten seconds.
    And when I turned on the Powerbook and tried the internet this time, I could not get connected.
    I think the bad internet connection on the MacBook Air was due to the fact that the internet was being shared by two computers. Funnily enough, the internet was OK on the Powerbook but was not good on the MacBook Air when I did that.
    So, it didn't turn out to be a MacBook Air problem but an internet provider problem.
    I will keep my fingers crossed that the MacBook Air internet connection keeps working fine.
    I think it's possible to use the internet on both computers simultaneously but the quality of the connection is poor on the MacBook Air when I do that. And when I turn off one of the computers, it is not possible to share an internet connection when I turn that computer back on again. I have to set up the MAC number of that computer again on the nespot site for it to access the internet. But if I do that, the internet quality on the MBA suffers.

  • IPad notes application - mail problem

    Hello;
    My boss and I both have an iPad. We both use our iPads to take notes in meetings, and we both sync our iPads to Outlook on a PC via iTunes.
    The native notes application has an email feature.
    Problem: When my boss email notes from the native iPad notes application, on some notes, all of the carriage returns get stripped. This does not happen on all notes -- but seems to happen more on longer notes (500 characters or more).
    The resulting email has no formatting -- just one giant wrapped text line.
    Any ideas what might be causing this?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Good point. However, you need to tell Apple. To do that go here:

  • I am seeing links appear inside my website that I did not create. This problem is not occurring with IE9 - just firefox. How can I prevent someone from putting these strange links in my site.

    Someone is putting links inside my website - I did not create these links and do not have any idea who has put them on my index page. How can this be prevented and how can the links be removed. I have overwritten the files but that does not help. This problem does not happen with IE9 or any other browser, I only see these links when I use firefox to load my site (prevailingword.net)

    Which links do you mean?
    I'm seeing nothing on the main page or are they on one of the other pages?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
