Vincenzo, the message seems to suggest that you should be able to accept the invitation. That said, there are so many known issues between Adobe products and Big Sur that we cannot recommend that anyone use the combination without thorough testing. And with both Apple and Adobe releasing corrective updates so rapidly, it is impossible for us to track every interaction.

I agree with Adobe’s currently posted position on Big Sur as follows: “Until these issues have been resolved, you may want to remain on your current macOS version or test in a non-production partition to ensure all your software and hardware is compatible…If you’re in the middle of a project or other business-critical work, we recommend that you wait until the project is complete. Before you upgrade, make sure you have a reliable backup and can restore to your current version in case you run into issues. If possible, upgrade in a test environment to ensure your third-party plug-ins, workflows, and configuration continue to work as expected.”

Hi, Dan.
I tried to download the panel, but when I drag the file PPW-5.0.0_CC versions installer v3.4.jsx I get this message: “You are able to run the script contained in the file” PPW-5.0.0_CC versions installer v3 .4.jsx “. Are you sure you want to do this? To eliminate this warning, add WarmRunnScripts O to the. PSUserConfig.txt file in your Photoshop settings folder and restart Photoshop.”
My operating system is macOS Big Sur
Version 11.2.3
iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019)
Thank you

Hi Dan,

When I drag PPW-5.0.0_CC versions installer.jsx to photoshop (Version 21.2.0), it keeps saying the following message. I am using Mac. What can I do now?

The folder “PPW-Assets” appears to have been moved, renamed, or deleted.
It must be in the same folder where the installation file resides. If this is not the case visit the troubleshooting page at the following address:

or mail to: cromaline@mac.com

Stars, it sounds like you downloaded the wrong version. The CS6 version is not the same as the one for CC20xx and if you try to install it into CS20xx it will give the error message you cite. Once you have installed the correct version, if there is still any issue, go to the troubleshooting page here and answer all the questions about your system.

Hi,

Does the panel really only run on CS6 ??

I have spent some time getting to download the software but at the end it will not install and complains I have >CS6 (on OSX).

Alexandra,

Under Windows, the installation must be done while signed into Photoshop as an administrator. If not, Photoshop may not have sufficient permissions to look into a certain folder, which is what seems to be happening here. If deleting these folders and reinstalling as an administrator doesn’t do the trick you should manually change the permissions of the folder so that it is accessible to everyone.

Hello, Dan! Could you kindly help me?

*System: Windows 7 x64

*The exact name of the file, including suffix, that you downloaded and are attempting to install from: PPW_5_CS6_052718.zip

*The exact version of Photoshop that you are using, taken from the “About Photoshop” panel (e.g. Adobe Photoshop CS6. version 13.0 x64). Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.1.2 x64

*Did you verify that in Photoshop: Preferences>Plug-ins, “Load Extension Panels” and “Allow Extensions to Connect to the Internet” are checked?: Yes

*A detailed step-by-step of what happens when you try to install, including the text of any error messages you receive.

I’m trying to go to Scripts>Browse and run PPW-5.0.0-installer-CS6.jsx, but I keep getting this message: ‘The folder PPW Assets appears to have been moved, renamed or deleted. It must be in the same installation folder’ etc.

The problem is, it’s there. The folder and the installer are in the same spot. I’m honestly confused.
