Creating droplets for use on different operating systems


    When creating droplets that may be used in both Windows and Mac OS, keep the following compatibility issues in mind:

    • When moving a droplet created in Windows to Mac OS, drag the droplet onto the Photoshop icon. Photoshop will launch and update the droplet for use in Mac OS.
    • When creating a droplet in Mac OS, use the .exe extension to make droplets compatible with both Windows and Mac OS.
    • References to filenames are not supported between operating systems. Any action step that references a file or folder name (such as an Open command, Save command, or adjustment command that loads its settings from a file) will pause and prompt the user for a filename.
