What version (versions) of Photoshop are on the 2 computers?
The only thing I can think of, is that perhaps the action contains things like File|Open and File|Save (As) that embed file structure commands in the action which may cause a conflict. I’ve never used a Mac Action file, but if you want to post the action somewhere, we have both Mac and PC guys visiting this forum regularly and I would take a look at it and am sure that others would try it as well.
That’s all I can think of…
By the way, I don’t know how you can export the action as PC compatable; I wasn’t aware of an option to do that, uless he’s just adding the three character ATN to the end of the file name to be consistent with PC naming protocol.

Thanks. I have put everything that was on the disk at this location. The action in question "cartoon" did not have an extension so I added it.

Thanks again, & Let me know if you find anything.

You know I just noticed that the two desktop files were over a meg each… I am used to seeing those kind of extra files on mac disks, but those are quite large. I wonder if one of those needs to be used in some way…
Dan,
It’s a droplet, not an action. Rename it to .EXE and it should work.
Peace,
Tony
Really? Which one?
And Thanks!!
I assume a droplet is an icon you drag an image onto for processing?
Dan
Cartoon.ATN should be Cartoon.EXE. A droplet is a small executable that you can drop a folder or a file onto, and the actions contained in the droplet run. It’s a way of selecting files that you want to process without necessarily having to process an entire folder.
I have no idea what the other files are – I only paid attention to the one with the ATN file. You might ask your colleague – they’re odd because of the two char extension, so I didn’t mess with them.
Peace,
Tony
