404 CHAPTER 15 Automating Tasks Saving actions (ImageReady) All actions you create are saved in the ImageReady Actions file in the Adobe Photoshop 6 Settings folder. ImageReady can only access actions that reside in this folder. You add actions to ImageReady by dragging actions into the ImageReady Actions folder on your computer. Because ImageReady does not include a Load Actions command, you must add files to the ImageReady Actions file manually. Note: The default location of the Adobe Photoshop 6 Settings folder varies by operating system. Use your operating system's Find command to locate this folder. You can remove actions from ImageReady by dragging the actions out of the ImageReady Actions folder or by using the Delete Action command in the Actions palette menu. Actions you remove by dragging can be saved in another folder. Actions you remove by deleting are removed permanently. If you add or remove files from the ImageReady Actions palette, you can direct ImageReady to scan the Actions folder for changes and update the Actions palette. (ImageReady scans the Actions folder and updates the Actions palette whenever you launch the application.) To update the Actions folder: 1 Drag an action file into or out of the ImageReady Actions folder. 2 Choose Rescan Actions Folder from the Actions palette menu. Organizing sets of actions (Photoshop) To help you organize your actions, you can create sets of actions and save the sets to disk. You can organize sets of actions for different types of work-such as print publishing and online publishing-and transfer sets to other computers. Although ImageReady doesn't allow you to create sets, you can manually organize actions in the ImageReady Actions folder. For example, if the Actions palette contains too many actions, create a new folder inside the ImageReady Actions folder and move less-used actions from the ImageReady Actions folder to this new folder. The relocated actions are removed from the palette until you return them to the ImageReady Actions folder. To create a new set of actions: 1 In the Actions palette, click the New Set button ( ), or choose New Set from the palette menu. 2 Enter the name of the set, and click OK. To move an action to a different set: In the Actions palette, drag the action to a different set. When the highlighted line appears in the desired position, release the mouse button. To rename a set of actions: 1 In the Actions palette, choose Set Options from the pop-up menu. 2 Enter the name of the set, and click OK.
