Yes. Quit Freeway. Then open up your Actions folder: /Users/YourName/
Library/Application Support/Freeway 5/Actions/General
Look in that folder for everything that has the word Protaculous in
it, and delete it. For extra points, also delete anything that has the
word Scripty or Ajax or Calendar in it – those are all my creations
and they all depend on the same core code. It is vitally important
that you upgrade all of these Actions at the same time, as otherwise
you will end up with mis-matched code, and nothing stands much of a
chance of working.
Next, look in your /Users/YourName/Downloads folder and do the same
dance, removing any files that are so named. What happens if you don’t
clear out previous versions is that you end up with
Protaculous.fwactionb, Protaculous 2.fwactionb, etc. These files are
not named differently, so they don’t replace whatever version was
already in Freeway’s Actions folder.
Now download replacements, all the latest versions, from ActionsForge.
Look carefully at the filenames to be sure that version numbers
haven’t crept in.
Move these files into the Actions folder, and restart Freeway.
Now, any versions of the Actions that you see should be rational.
If you do see an odd version number, and particularly if that number
is italic and near the top of the list in the Edit / Actions dialog,
then that means that it is coming from Freeway’s document cache. This
is a powerful feature, useful when sharing documents with other
Freeway users who might not have the same versions or the same Actions
installed, because it puts a last-chance fallback copy of the Action
into the Freeway document itself.
However, this only works reliably with non-bundled Actions, basically
any Action whose filename ends in fwaction, not fwactionb. For the
bundled Actions, what seems to happen is that the Action is cached,
but the support files are not, or if they are, they are not cached in
a way that permits them to be used by Freeway while constructing the
site. Net result, breakage, and usually user-level errors while
publishing.
So if you do see additional (potentially listed as Italic text)
versions, then you will need to remove all instances of the Actions –
from all pages and items where they are applied – and then publish
once to clear this cache. Once that’s done, and the effects are built
back up again, you shouldn’t see any issues like this.

There are three versions of the carousel actions available in my
Item pull down. When I look at the action list, I see Protaculous
4/8/10, 9/22/10 and 11/8/10 all checked. How do I get rid of them? I
thought Freeway automatically replaced them. I also see an error
next to Carousel Button 4/8/10.
Is there a best way to proceed?
Thank you.
