Hello everyone.
I've been watching this wonderful forum, and I would like to learn a little about you if possible.
I love to do actions in Photoshop.
So I'm seeing a lot of the scripts could do with the actions.
So I'm a little confused the need for scripts.
As far as I know, the scripts are very necessary that you need to condition the operation with the actions which can not.
Someone might say, whether to use actions or scripts, which is better.
Thank you very much to all and to Google for translation

Actions versus scripts
I think I've found answers.
As I said, trying to find, play and ask as little as possible, I think is the best way to learn.
So reading the Scripting Guide, I found answers.
Why use scripts instead of actions?

Actions versus scripts
Actions are for very simple tasks. Scripts allow you to do much more.
For example, I needed to convert some files to DDS and PIC format.
I tried to do it with actions but it didn't let me choose the target path.
The path is saved with the action so when I open a new file, it will be saved in the last file path.
With a simple vbscript I made, I automatized everything, create a DDS Folder and a PIC Folder, open the files and convert them to those folders with just one click (double click).
I also made an auto backup script which would be impossible with actions (posted part of the script in other thread).
That's a little data management oriented but you can also make paths blendings and other cool effects that would be impossible with actions.
