Sharing Actions

You can import and export actions. Exporting actions will allow you to share them as convenient, compressed packages. You can select which actions to export, or export them all at once. Alternatively, you can simply share individual actions by navigating to their location and using your desired sharing method, such as email.

You cannot import and export the pre-loaded actions that come with ACDSee.
