Splitting up action sets in CS2?

[Sulis]

Can anyone tell me how to split up a set of actions into individual files? For example, if I have one .atn file which, when loaded, contains numerous actions, how do I split them up and save them as individual files? Step by step instructions would be great!

Load your Set of Actions that you would like to split up.

Create a "Folder" (not a new action) named with the name you would like the new action set to be named. An action always must be saved within a folder...

Once you have the folder made, You can drag the action out of the old folder and into the new one. Simple!

Once you have the action in the new folder, you will need to save it by clicking back on the "new folder" that you made and click the little arrow on the upper right hand side of the action pallette. choose save actions.

You must not forget to SAVE.... you will loose the actions if you save over the old after you drag actions out. Please, make a backup copy of your action before you do this. that way, if you make a mistake. You will have a backup!!!

Hope this helps!!
