bob_lazzarini Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Double clicking on any Photoshop CS file icon in any Finder windowwill launch the application but not open the file.<br>The only way I can open any image file is from within PS CS via File >Open, or from within the PS CS browser.<p> This occurred from MacOS 10.3.1, and still in MacOS 10.3.2.<p> Does anyone have this inconvenience, and if so do you know of a remedy?<p> Thank you in advance for your help & consideration.<p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_harding Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Weird. It works fine for me. What happens when you double click the icon while Photoshop is already running? Does the file open then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les_campbell Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Try the Get Info command (Command-I) on a .psd file. Select the "Open with" section. Pull down on the menu and select Adobe Photoshop CS. Then click on the button that says " Change all..." That might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_harris3 Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 It might also be worth trying ctrl-click (or right click if you have a sensible mouse) -> Open with and checking what the default program is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_lazzarini Posted December 18, 2003 Author Share Posted December 18, 2003 Done that all.<p> Thanks gentlemen.<p> I guess my only option is to reinstall Photoshop.<p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_f._stein Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Interesting, as we don't have desktop rebuild in OS X. Did you install another version of Photoshop first? If so, did you delete it or keep it? If 2 versions, are they are on the same partition? In any event, it never hurts to run Repair Permissions for the boot drive. I would also search www.xlr8yourmac.com to see if similar behavior is being reported for other apps in OS X. GOOD LUCK, let us know what fixes the situation. I suspect multiple copies of Photoshop on different partiti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_lazzarini Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 David,<p> Thanks for your input.<p> Wish we did have a <i>'desktop rebuild in OS X.'</i><p> Strangely enough I had version 7 of Photoshop installed first, and did delete it.<br> They were both on the same boot drive/partition.<br> I'm beginning to wonder if my PS files are still <i> 'linked'</i> to PS 7 as the launch application and where and how I can change that.<p> BTW, I ran Repair Permissions for the boot drive more times than I can remember but to no avail with regard to this PS CS glitch.<br> I've also run TechTool 4.. nada.<p> Next move is to re-install PS CS and see what happens.<p> I'll let everyone know.
