Shortcut for action reset on every start of Photoshop CC

Hey there,
I have a problem I didn't have with Photoshop CS6 that now occured on CC since I just subscribed.
I had set a shortcut for a custom action in Photoshop CS6 which was F2. Since I wanted to use F2 for another function (i.e. renaming layers) in Photoshop, I had changed the action shortcut to F4 successfully when working with CS6. However, on Photoshop CC, each time I start the program the shortcut is reset to F2. I already tried saving my shortcuts, but I assume that doesn't include the ones for actions? I can 'solve' it by manually copying stuff from the CS6 presets folder - which is far from ideal since I then cannot change it to something else in future either (will stick to F4 then).
Anybody an idea what might cause this, or better: How to solve it?
I am using the Windows version of PS CC, being on Windows 8.1.
Thanks in advance

Ugh, I didn't intend this to turn into a Mac vs. PC contest.  My only implication is this:  Mac users might be forgiven for expecting that their preferences are saved right now, vs. PC users who expect settings to be saved after a successful run and exit of something - because that's how most things work on each of those two systems.  Photoshop's philosophy is more PC-like in this case, even when run on a Mac.
But that's neither here nor there for helping solve Eno's problem.
Eno, if you add a new action set, does it still appear in the Actions panel after having closed and restarted Photoshop?  I'm still trying to gauge whether you're having a general failure to save preferences, or just some odd failure having to do with key assignments.
The file your actions panel data is saved in on a Windows 8 system is here:
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Adobe Photoshop CC Settings\Actions Palette.psp
Do you see its Modification Date getting updated upon exiting Photoshop?
I'm wondering if somehow you have a permissions problem with that particular file.

  • How to enable shortcut for menubar in MAC OS, Here in Photoshop on Windows OS we can see the letter underlined for shortcut.

    Here in Photoshop on Windows OS we can see the letter underlined for shortcut.
    In Menu bar
    F for File
    E for Edit
    and I for Image
    We can press alt+F to list file menu
    and alt+E to list Edit menu
    Is there any option like this to enable shortcuts for menu bar in "MAC OC"

    The closest I know is assigning "Move focus to the menu bar" in the Preferences a keyboard shortcut and then navigating with the arrow keys (letters may also work to highlight, but not to expand in and of themselves once the focus is on the menu bar).

  • Screen brightness resets after every start up

    Hi all, haven't been here in about a year. My imac's brightness has been resetting to the darkest point every time I shut down then subsequently start up (next day, whenever). I always had it set at it's highest point, which is what I preffered, and now I have to set it with the keyboard EVERYTIME! Not the end of the world but a little irritating. I don't know if it's related but also lately my normally smooth running imac has been hanging up on me with the spinning beach ball of death and I routinely have to initiate a "force quit" but don't have to actually force quit any app. for the imac to resume as normal. All I have to do is close the force quit window, wierd. 3rd party culprit?
    Thanks guy's.

    Sounds strange.. Have you done the usual maintenance people around here suggest... repair permission.. clean caches? That's what I would do considering your other problems.
    May want to try a Utility like this:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26516
    Also, you may want to consider creating another account.. set that account to open upon boot... and see if the screen problem persists. If it doesn't, then it may be an issue with a preferences file...although I'm not sure screen brightness is controlled by a preferences file.. worth a shot though.

    My iPhone 4S keeps asking me for my apple id password every time I turn it on, help it's very very annoying

    Use iTunes on your computer to deauthorize all your devices.  Then sign out of your Apple ID on the device.  Then sign back in.

    Settings > iTunes & App stores.
    Tap your Apple ID, sign out then sign back in with new AppleID.
    Settings > Facetime.
    Tap your Apple ID, sign out then sign back in with new AppleID.

    Settings > iCloud.
    Delete the account (make sure to KEEP the information on your phone), then turn it back on with new Apple ID.

  • Spacebar shortcut for hand tool not working in Photoshop CC - have tried closing all other programs

    The spacebar shortcut for hand tool is not working in Photoshop CC - as suggested in this form & others I have tried closing all other programs with no result. I have also reset photoshop to default settings & this did not make any difference either.

    There may be a software conflict. I went through this today. When I did a search in Adobe foruns actually found tha answer on the Illustrator forum:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1027227?
    What the problem for me was an app called - 1Password.  I had opened it, but not given my password to login and it was on in the background. As soon as I quit 1Password, the spacebar Hand Tool worked.
    Then I opened 1Password again, and logged in. This time the spacebar works.
    Others mentioned conflict with Spotify. And Chrome too. Couple other things. Read that thread in the link above.
    Good luck!

  • Can't create a desktop shortcut for a website in Firefox Tor Browser

    I am a Tor Browser user, and I really like the Firefox interface. According to my about page, my Firefox browser is up to date. But For some reason I cannot save desktop shortcuts for a website. Every time I drag the icon next to a website (variously a glob, a green lock, and other icons), I get a denial mouse icon anywhere I try to put the web shortcut on the desktop. This even happens when I drag bookmarks from my bookmark bar! My guess is that something is blocked in the Tor settings that won't allow shortcuts. Any suggestions on where the shortcuts settings are in Firefox?

    I don't know that program. Go to its Mozilla Add-ons web page and find the support link. Then ask them about this. It may be a bug.
    Do the other add-ons I sent you work okay? Then you should be about done, until you hear from the Tor support people.
    Once you get an answer, please post it here. Good Luck, Happy Holidays !

  • Function and Mouse Shortcut Keys for Exposé Reset Frequently

    I have been noticing, recently, that my keyboard and mouse shortcuts for exposé and dashboard reset almost every day. It happens most frequently after I run World of Warcraft or fullscreen with VLC (which I have set to use the first 5 function keys but not F9-F12, which I have set for exposé and dashboard). It will happen regardless of what I do, but more frequently when i run fullscreen applications. Is there anything I can do to stop it? Because I hate sitting down to my computer, wanting to check the weather or show the desktop and having to go to system preferences to turn the shortcuts back on. Thanks for any help.

    I found the problem. You either have to play WoW full screen (completely) or unbind the bag buttons from the key bindings menu. Then reassign the buttons in Settings.

  • ABAP coding in defining start condition for action.

    Hi Everybody,
    Can anyone tell me if ABAP coding is possible for giving condition for action? If yes, where? Is it in condition editor? I have 3 validations to be done:- 1) Filter service contract (transaction type USC), 2) Filter the active contracts, 3) Filter contracts which doesn't have billing cycle in current month.
    So, do you think these validations can be done in start condition of action? First two validations are static in nature and thus can be done. But, how about the last condition?
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Sanj.

    Hi Sanj
    I would do this.
    1. The transaction type cannot be changed, therfore I will set this up in the scheduling condition.
    2. Active contracts. Depends on teh definiton of active. If it is based on some status then I will use scheduling condition.
    3. use one of the dates in the date profile to determine if the billing date is in the current month or not.
    See if this helps.
    Thanks

  • Is there a shortcut for starting a new iMessage?

    Is there a shortcut for creating a new iMessage from anywhere in OS X?
    I know it doesn't take a long time to open messages and start a new conversation but it would be nice if there was a shortcut that allowed a new conversation to be started from anywhere. Here is an example of what I am looking for. I accessed this by clicking the messages icon on someone's contact page.

  • My G4 desktop won't  cold start. I have to plug in to the outlet for about 15 minutes every time. Can anyone explain why?

    My G4 desktop won't cold start. I have to plug in to the outlet for about 15 minutes every time. Can anyone explain why? Otherwise, the desktop runs fine.
    The battery is new, and I zapped the little button on the main board once. I've noticed that the power supply plug is a little longer than the usual one for G4, and the AGP slot has an extra slot, which is black and about half inch long.

    Hi Ursula,
    the AGP slot has an extra slot, which is black and about half inch long.
    I believe that is for ADC Monitor power if you had one, or a card with ADC, like the little tab on this one...
    I think your startup problem is bad capacitors in the power supply or on the logic board, and the need to bleed off their charge before they work right to start.
