The page Photoshop Actions File Format, available from the documentation section of my site dedicated to Photoshop scripting, has been updated; more precisely, explanations have been added concerning the specific handling of object arrays ('ObAr') and the parsing of descriptors.

HTH,

The "Photoshop Actions File Format" document (v1.6) is now available in both HTML and PDF versions from the documentation section of my site.

FYI, I've just released three new sample scripts:
Convert Actions File: convert an actions file (.atn) into a folder of directly executable scripts (.js) which can be further edited [CS3 or later];Parse Actions File: parse an actions file (.atn) or an actions palette file (Actions Palette.psp) into a JSON text file [CS2 or later];Play Actions File Action: play a specific action contained in an actions file (.atn), without the need to load the file in the Actions Palette [CS3 or later].These scripts are making use of a new module called jamActions, part of the JSON Action Manager scripting library.

Please let me know if you have any comments, corrections, suggestions, ideas for improvement...
