When I double click a PS file, it opens PS but not the file. Why?

Apr 5, 2011 12:26 PM

Since I purchased CS5, I've found that double clicking, or dragging to the Ps (or Ai) icon in the dock will only open the program, but not the file. I then have to go back and double click the file again to bring it up. I've looked in preferences but cannot find a way to resolve this. A friend who also has CS5 does not have this problem.

 

Thanks, Neil.

    Make sure that your Photoshop is updated to 12.0.2

    Which version of Illustrator are you using?

     

    Are you using any third party plug-ins in Photoshop & Illustrator?

    Are you using any third party scripting addition plug-ins (what is in the folder: /Library/ScriptingAdditions)

    Have you updated your OS lately?

    Are you on a Mac or a PC?

    That behavior usually is sign of a file vital for Photoshop (and some other Adpobe apps too) missing.

    I've published an old Adobe technote about that here http://www.ninisworld.com/thecorner/tutorials/photoshopopen.html including also the file needed on a Mac.

    If you are on a PC I have no solution to suggest.
