Hello everyone! I've bought my first new computer in 9 years - iMac - and the new computer won't run PSE 10. I expected I'd have to upgrade, and almost everything is going smoothly. When I import actions into PSE 2018 for Mac, it puts each action into its own folder. How can I group them? I'd like to put all my imported actions from Atomic Cupcake into one folder. As you can see in the image, the two I've imported so far are each in their own folder. I'd like them to be in one folder, similar to the Bottom Borders actions.  Thanks in advance for your help! |

Brenda -
There used to be a way to do this manually, at least on a Windows machine, but I don't think it's possible any more. Too bad, too.

Thanks, Major Major. Not the answer I was hoping for, but at least now I know to stop wasting time on it.  |

I don't believe you can do that unless you have an action which was created as a set; then, you just load the set. Ex.: I created a Split Tone effect action as a set consisting of 6 individual actions. All the six individual actions get loaded as one.

Sepiana, that makes sense. I'm guessing I can't make them into a set myself unless I have full blown Photoshop. |

I have thought of something. There is an add-on -- Elements+ -- created by Andrei Doubrovski. I wonder if it would do what you want. I will bring this thread to his attention.

Hello, Brenda
Alas, Elements+ can't manage the actions in the Actions panel.
However, in your example, each set contains just one action.
So, I'd suggest adding them to the Effects panel (the old way)

Hello, Brenda Alas, Elements+ can't manage the actions in the Actions panel. Hi Andrei, thanks so much for coming to the rescue in such a prompt manner! Your willingness to help our members is truly appreciated. |
