Install Actions in Photoshop Elements 8

I know some of you have been waiting on pins and needles for information about installing actions in Photoshop Elements 8.  Here’s the bad news:

1. It’s no easier to install actions in PSE8 than it was in PSE7.

Here’s the good news:

1. It’s no harder in PSE 8 than it was in PSE7.
2. Installing actions in PSE 8 uses exactly the same method in PSE8 as it did in PSE7.  You might not need to learn anything new!
3. I haven’t had to refresh the mediadatabase file in PSE8 as much as in PSE7.  So the installation process might not take as long.  I’m not sure if that because I currently have fewer actions in PSE8, or because the software itself is different.  It would be interesting to hear what everyone else on PSE8 experiences.
