They are very long... I barely remember that it was possible to copy the actions in a text file, but can't find the how-to...

Shouldn' teh action just stop where it is not possible? or does it refuse to be loaded on the palette? if it is the first solution, you can expand every step, and try to find a similar filter for V5.5...

OK, I found the how-to at Action FX.com 's FAQ, one of the best references about PS actions...

  Can I print an Action as a text file?

Yes you may. When you want to print an action as a text file to read the settings the Action applied (a GREAT learning tool, by the way),select the Action Set in the Actions Palette. Click Command(Mac)/Control(PC)+Alt and, holding those keys down, open the Actions Menu and select 'Save Actions'. When the Save window pops up, you should see the Action has a .txt extension instead of a .atn extension. Save it, print it, and learn from it. NOTE: Unless you want endless sheets printing at a time, be sure to empty the Actions Palette of ALL ACTION SETS except the one you want to save as a text file. If you have more than one loaded, all those loaded will be saved in the same text file.
