“Play Actions File Action” is an actions files utility script using the JSON Action Manager scripting library, and more specifically its module jamActions.
This stand-alone script written in JavaScript is used to play a specific action contained in a Photoshop actions file (.atn), without the need to load the file in the Actions Palette.
Please refer to the Photoshop Actions File Format page for detailed information about the structure of an actions file.
A tool-tip displaying the full path name of the actions file is available while hovering over the actions file text field.
This script can be used in Adobe Photoshop CS3 or later. It has been successfully tested in CS4 on Mac OS X, but should be platform agnostic.
