This topic is a joke.

Check out this discussion to see how people who are serious about troubleshooting problems submit system info:

Is "12.0" a Lion, or a Snow Leopard, or a Precise Pangolin, or a dumb Raccoon?

There's nothing snarky or cocky about asking you to answer the most basic troubleshooting questions.  You still have not answered some good questions from Noel. Nobody here is a mind reader and nobody here is able to see your computer. You've really got to work on communicating. That is why I suggested that you review this discussion. <-- That's a link. Click it. Read it. Learn.

You complained that you went through the "morass of threads [on this topic] and could not decipher it". We've gone through 48 posts until you decided to get around to explaining some very basic system info. By stringing us all along with no details, you've contributed to your own morass.  You've made it very hard for anyone else to decipher your troubles.

As the most basic troubleshooting step, you should be sure that your Photoshop software (and system 10.6.8) is up to date.  How would you know if Adobe has fixed your problem if you don't even have the latest update to Photoshop?

You are a veteran here too. You should know better about supplying useful information so that others can help you.

I don't think you understand the tone of this discussion any better than you understand your computer. You would not be hearing negativity and anger. You would be hearing laughter.  This topic is a joke.

Have you updated Photoshop yet or are you wasting everyone's time here?

Can we please all focus on Kevin's legitimate issue here? There are many of us receiving the same error. I thought this forum was about sharing information, not sniping at each other.

The only person not focussing on Kevin's issue is Kevin. Perhaps you need to review this entire thread to realize the nonsense.  Kevin is unwilling to keep his Photoshop up-to-date or to explain what troubleshooting steps he has taken. If he pulled this crap with paid Adobe tech support, I'm sure they would hang up on him.

If you have this same problem, be smarter and more proactive than Kevin. Review the ideas in this discussion and the other lengthy discussions on it. Try all the suggestions until you find success.

I'm a little confused. Did your problem start after you loaded Suitcase Fusion, or are you attributing Suitcase Fusion with solving the problem?

In the case cited, with Suitcase Fusion modifying the files, were the modifications visibly apparent in Finder (i.e., by seeing an updated date on the files)?

-Noel

I have checked the file in the finder window and it doesn't change until I save.  The message about the file being changed comes up if I don't save for five or six minutes. If I quit the FM core process it stops the annoying 'document changed outside...' message and brings up the warning below. I will probably clear extensis off my system- I am an illustrator that uses fonts occasionally so I won't miss it that much.

You mean someone out there thinks that having the intrusive message pop up is a reasonable user experience?   I am a nervous saver...i.e I save my files every few minutes, so do not want any messages - in fact I try to get rid of intrusive warnings whenever they pop up. (like the  hot pins under the skin irritating 'less than 50% of pixels have been selected...' )

Why not just give them a way to avoid seeing the warning in the future ([  ] Don't ask again), Chris?  Not everyone needs them. 

As an example (and I'm not saying I ever see this warning myself), if I'm working on my own imagery on my own computer, I am the only person who should be able to change it, and if anything in the system has changed it I want my save to overwrite it anyway.  I'm saving the file for a reason.  Let's not forget who's in charge.

and we wonder why they cant get along in the middle east...

Nice of you to follow up with helpful info, gozgirl02, but could you please be just a little more specific?

Is that a Finder window that contains the file on the desktop, or maybe Bridge?  Details make all the difference.

-Noel

i can't believe it, but I think this worked for me too. Pretty stupid that the mac OSX is doing weird stuff like that in relation to my photoshop files. that annoying 'do you want to save cause it already has been or something' pop up was driving me mad. thanks for the help gozgirl02.

Adobe Please! Get this fixed as soon as possible!

Not that I have seen this problem, being on a PC, but I feel for the Mac users... 

Wouldn't a little [  ] Don't Show Again checkbox be an awfully nice thing to have in the warning message for those folks whose systems are habitually touching their image files?

Sorry to revive this topic.

Running Windows 7x64 and I noticed this same problem directly after installing Suitcase Fusion 4!

Tested and verified! Suitcase Fusion 4's plugin was causing the problem. Unbelievable how worthless these guys have made this software over the years. Opened up suitcase and unchecked the plugins for photoshop and everything was back to normal. Its impossible to work with the plugin on if you save often.
