"Actions" are one of the most powerful features of Adobe® Photoshop®. They allow anyone to create powerful effects by combining the image manipulation tools in Photoshop into scripted sequences. Thousands of actions are freely available, and you probably have a decent collection sitting on your own hard drive. If only you could remember what each one does and organize them better!

That is where ActionDex comes in. ActionDex lets you take control of your actions! With ActionDex you can:

• Organize your actions into categories (including nested categories and having the same action appear in multiple categories).
• Easily move, copy, and delete actions and categories... no need to try and organize actions in the actions palette anymore!
• Associate your own notes with actions.
• Rate each action so you can quickly find your favorites.
• Associate a preview image with each action so you can easily see what it does.
• Keep track of the author, web site, and other information about an action.
• View all the "stop messages" in an action, even while the action is executing (no more wishing you had paid attention to those instructions before clicking "Continue"!)
• Keep track of all this information even for actions you have unloaded from Photoshop.
• Provide author name, web site, and extended notes with actions you write and share with others.
• With a single mouse click toggle between a large view window showing action details and a small window that uses minimal screen space but provides full access to your categories and actions.
• Execute actions in Photoshop.
• Backup the actions palette.
