I am having a problem with my droplet where as when I activate the droplet, it runs through the action perfectly fine, but once it finishes the action the first time, it begins a loop and loops through ever file in the folder, which in my case might be hundreds of files at any one time, and I really can not sit there and keep hitting ok when the next picture opens. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What does your droplet do? What do you want it to do? Assume we know nothing about what you are trying to accomplish, because that would be accurate.

I am trying to use the droplet to create Contact Sheets out of the pictures in the folder I drop onto the Droplet. A Contact Sheet is a sheet that displays all pictures in a selected folder in thumbanail form. My problem is that when I create the droplet, whenever I use it, it will create a contact sheet, but then something called Droplet Set pops up and it will start to loop through all the pictures in the folder one at a time, and once it is all done, it will create a contact sheet with the last picture it lopped through instead of making a conact sheet with one of every picture displayed like it should. The reason I need to create this, is because I am using it to create contact sheets, with anywhere from 20-100+ photos, and I can not sit there all day and have it not work after clicking "ok" that many times. So Any help u can provide me, would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Paul,
To throw another kink into it, I am not running on an Intel based machine. I have a old (ha) PowerPC Dual G5. So it seams its not just a PS problem running on Intel.
I get the "classic" application info as well, which is associated with OS9. (As to why it changes to a working OS10 app when a copy is made I have no clue.)
Still a mystery to me! But it appears that its across the board not just an Intel or PPC problem. Thanks for your help Paul, If I figure anything else out I will let you know. Cheers,
-Kristen
