Hello again everyone, I’m slowly getting up and running with Freeway 5 and some basic flexible layouts.
I still have Freeway 4, 4.3 and now 5 on my Mac, therefore actions all over the place and I don’t know if any can be copied to the FW 5 folder, so my question is, is there a definitive list of actions which have been updated and can be downloaded for FW5?
Once again, thanks in advance for any answers.

It’s been my experience that nothing breaks between 4 and 5.
If you want to be sure, then just put all your old actions in a folder on your desktop, and then when you find the need for one of them, drag it over the Freeway icon in the Dock.
The nice thing about Freeway is that you don’t have to quit and restart to refresh your Actions, just switch to a different app (or Finder) and back again. The list is dynamically re-built each time Freeway comes to the fore.
After a while, you may find that there are some of these that you just don’t use. I look back at my Actions folder in Freeway 3 and wonder how I made it through those massive lists. I use comparatively fewer Actions these days, mostly because more and more features move into the “core” each version.
You can also make aliases of your FW 4 Action folders and put them where FW 5 will see them. So, if you have sites you have not migrated yet, your FW 4 set up will remain the same and FW 5 has those Actions as well, without copying them all.
