My Action Disappeared!

I downloaded a couple of actions this morning and when I went to install them I find that all of my actions are gone except the ones that came with FreeWay Pro.

What would cause this?

Here’s where I’m looking: 'Show package contents" on FW 5.5 file. Then Contents>SharedSupport>Actions.

All that shows are Fast and Standard.

Is this because I uploaded to the latest 5.5.2 yesterday? Did FW really overwrite all my actions–even the ones I bought???

You had me excited there for a minute! But I have nothing but a blank folder there–zero content. Is this supposed to be the new home for actions with 5.5?

Hi Doty,
There are three places that you can store actions (certainly since
version 4 [1]) that the application will happily load and run the files;

  1. /Users/(your short name)/Library/Application Support/Freeway 5/
    Actions/
  2. /Library/Application Support/Freeway 5/Actions/
  3. /Applications/Freeway 5.5 Pro/Freeway 5.5 Pro.app/Contents/
    SharedSupport/Actions/

All three will run actions but you should consider option 3 as your
very last resort as Freeway considers this area it’s own and will (as
I suspect you have found out) happily overwrite these files if you
upgrade the application.
Option 1 installs the Actions for you alone and option 2 installs them
for all users on your machine.

Regards,
Tim.
[1] Freeway versions 2 to 3.5 stored actions in a Freeway Actions
folder in the same folder as the application itself.
