I figured out what was going wrong with the action set naming problem.
When an action set is saved as an atn file, it embeds the name of the action set in the file. When you load that atn file, everything looks fine.
However, if you rename the atn file and load it, it uses the name of the atn file as the name of action set. It ignores the embedded action set name.
In other words, there is no bug. It's just normal PS behaviour.

Doesn't make sense,
I took the newest files put them in the apps directory, removed the other two, renamed these to the same name as older version, but if I call them via the menu the xml conversion is successful but the atn conversion fails, Now
if I browse and select the new files and run them that way everything works
What am I missing here?
not a big thing I can just do it the way it works lol

so when we create the xml file, part of the process should be renamming it, if we so desire?
I did convert a action file to xml, did the revisions, saved it, then ran the conversion to atn with new name and it seem to work ............

looks like a hit and miss with some files, I took a very simple and small atn file, converted to xml, then without any editing tried to convert back again
it failed.
error 21: undefined is not an object
line 23796
-> var id = objNode.getAttribute("id");
Do you think it sometimes depends on how it was created?

No. There may be some things that I'm just not handling correctly. The best thing to do is just email atn files that break and I'll track down the problem.
