Photoshop's File: Automate: Create Droplet: is droplet's function reliable?

Question

I've just begun using droplets that Photoshop creates in its Automate submenu (File: Automate: Create Droplet:), and am enjoying the convenience that these droplets afford working with Photoshop actions. However I have misgivings concerning reliability of the droplets' function, (and hope that  someone, either with technical expertise, or else someone who simply has used the droplets a great deal, can give me some insight).
Specifically, my concern is with the kind of the (droplet) application that Photoshop is producing with Create Droplet command, which is kind PowerPC (as is indicated in the System Profiler).
My Photoshop copy is CS4, its publication date 2008; my operating system is Mac Snow Leopard (v. 10.6.8). All of the applications that have shipped with my current os, and all of the up-to-date applications that I have installed, are of application kind Intel, or else kind Universal, and notably PowerPC is not present among them.
The architecture of PowerPC I know to be rather outdated. When I'd purchased my new Mac Pro computer (Intel based), all of application scripts which I wrote with AppleScript Editor on my old PowerMac computer, were dysfunctional when copied onto the new computer, and needed to be rewritten or discarded. (Kind of these problematic applications was PowerPC.)
Don't wish to be fanatical, (and I realize that the droplets may actually work just fine). Still my dread is a scenario, working with droplets, that they (may) produce error in my graphic design files, and when sent to the printer could cause trouble, subsequently trying to look at where the problem is, droplets would NEVER occur to me as source of trouble, and a means to fix be quite evasive.

Answer 1

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.
