Bridge CC opens files on simple click

Hi,
The subject says it all : Bridge CC Mac (6.0.1.6) opens files on select (simple click).
It is very inconvenient and I can't for the life of me find a place where to change this absurd behaviour or is it a bug ?
My context : MacBook Pro late 2011, OSX 10.8.5, either on trackpad or MS Mobile Memory Mouse 8000.

I understand that I'm unfortunate enough to be the one and only to suffer this single-click plague ?
Don't know if you are the only one but at the most one of very few I'm afraid…
Do a check and repair permissions with Apple Disk Utility and double check your mouse and track path settings in the system preferences (there is a setting that lets you double click with one single finger tick).
And you can always combine the reset of prefs with the delete of plist file for Bridge in User library preferences (by default hidden, use menu go with option to reveal this library). Maybe you have to try a bit more often with reset prefs, sometimes 3 or 4 go's can do a miracle.

What version of Bridge and Photoshop and what platform? Mac or Windows? I can point you to a downloadable installer.
If the cdrom was damaged, it may be the problem.
You would uninstall and use the CC/CS Cleaner to remove any remnants before reinstalling.

Can't Open Files with Double Click??

HI
I am on 10.8.3 Mountain Lion and when using the trackpad or my wireless bluetooth mouse, I cannot open files by double clicking all of a sudden. This is a serious problem as I cannot view my video files in Final Cut Pro. There is no click speed preference in System Preferences and I have no idea what to do. I don't want to have to right click to open any file on my Mac. Does anybody have a solution for this? Thanks

I solved the problem. If you go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse and Trackpad - You can set the speed of the double click to be much slower. Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

My trackpad can't open file with double click

i don't know what's going on, but my trackpad can't open file with double click. i have to open it with right click, open or open with. i've tried to fix it in the system preferences, it didn't work out well.

William - you are wonderful! I had looked at that - they were set to 'internal' which seemed like RH...but selecting the 'design view' and then reselecting 'use default editor' instead of 'auto-select editor' did it. THANK YOU!!!!!

Sublime Text 2 won't open files with double click

Hi, this is my first time asking for something.
Well, i've been using Scribes, but sometimes i need tabs in my text editor, so i installed Sublime Text 2.
The problem is that i can't open files with double click, i need to use "subl filename" and that it's not funny :S
If i double click a file ST2 opens, but with a tab named "file" and without content.
Is there a fix for that?
My Arch installation (if is neccesary):
Arch x86_64
Openbox (stand-alone)
PCManFM
P.D: sorry for my english D:

the reason seems to be a broken desktop file. `/usr/share/applications/sublime-text.desktop` says `Exec=subl %U`, but it should be `%f`. Also the Aur package does not provide a `subl` symlink so you should create one.

Cant open files via double click on file icons

hello
i recently wiped my drive and did a clean install of 10.5.1 (lepperds).
here are specs for my machine:macprobook 2.33ghz intel core 2 duo w/ 2gb 667mhz ddr2 sdram, 120gb HD (72.25GB available), serial # W2186148K4Y, username:billysmac password:••••••••••••
now, when i double click files created in PhotoShop & Image Ready (not sure about other apps / files), the application will open but the file i originally double clicked does not open.
the same is true if i try to open file via: apple + single click on file >>>>> then drag down to 'open with app xyz" in the sub menu that appears. app opens but file does not.
the only way to open a file is to activate PS or IR followed by: menu bar >>> file >>> open >>>> finder window >>>> nav to & select file >>> click open in finder window.
furthermore, i have my iphoto set to edit photos in PhotoShop, but when i click 'edit', nothing happens.
this is a legit registered copy of PS & IR so im not sure whats going on. when i did a wipe, i backed up all my apps, account, files & folders, etc. to an ext HD. after the syst s.w. install, i dragged all the apps into the apps foleder. some apps wouldnt work any more, so i reinstaled them PS / IR did work though, except this issue, so i didnt boter reinstalling.
any suggestions?
thanks
billy

Mini bridge - show open files?

when bridge was first born as file browser, and integrated into PS did it have the ability of displaying the open files in PS?
I'm "kinda" hoping that a bunch of people are going to jump all over this conversation and say... of course it can do it now!
I'm very old-school and don't like the tabbed windows interface, I'm generally tossing layers around and windows are easier for me, but.... I could see that this would have some use if I was using a smaller display and if I could also use mini bridge to show thumbnails of the open files and use this to switch tabbed images. Or, if I could drag layers onto the thumbnail in Mini Bridge and subsequently bring that tabbed image to front.

I needed to set the file type association in preferences.

Plese help me ! can't open files with double clicking icons...

at the first, sorry about my English. (i'm japanese and english is my second language so..) anway.... i can't open the files on desk top by double click. if i go to Finder then i can open files... and some files i can open by double click. i downloaded Limewire but i can't install it because my couble click is not working for that. but i can double click to open photoshop, safari or email or some other things in the dock. and i couldn't open up the games either.. doesn anybody knows what's happened to my son's computer? it's a iMac flat panel G4. and OS X 10.3.9. Thank you sooo much!!

Saw your response and started to write to you for help also but have, with one final try, found PART of my problem. I have a Logitech wired optical mouse that worked with everything except opening desktop volumes when I double clicked on them. I could open applications and documents within the Finder window....just not the desktop volume icons.
I ran Disk Utility........verified all the volumes........repaired all permissions, unplugged mouse and reset. Logitech software is up to date.. I've never had this happen before.
What I discovered was that I was double clicking to open the volumes, but had the mouse set for single click. It's still a little strange because I changed it to double click to open and now it opens with double OR single click. Now I can open the volumes but it won't allow me to move the Finder windows that open. I can't drag or move them on the desktop; have to use them where they open.
Any suggestions for me, I hope? Thanks.

Opening files with double click

Hi, I'm using photoshop CS 6 and Yosemite 10.10.2 and wondering why photoshop is no more able to open files with a single double click. It opens the program but not the file. Second double click is necessary. Really annoying.
It is also irritating that ADOBE asks me everytime before it opens ps if I want to take part in a survey. I took part several times to get rid of it, but the asking continued ...This is harassing – does it stop when I buy the cloud???
Anyone else experiencing this?

This was getting so frustrating I turned off FileVault and the problem went away. That's too bad, but there it is.

Excel 365 still won't open files by double clicking!

I know this issue has been posted before but, unlike many, I've started with a clean slate - a brand new machine running Windows 7 Professional SP1. The only Office product I've installed is 365. Like most others, I can open Word and PowerPoint files by
double clicking but Excel refuses point blank to play ball. I get the "Problem sending data to the program" error.
I've tried the multitude of "fixes" spread around the forum and the net - to the extent that I can't remember which I've already done when I come across them - and nothing changes.
Surely (?) someone at Microsoft must have picked up that there is a real problem here, affecting a multitude of users. So why isn't there a unified fix available? Let me put that another way, does anyone know of a unified fix that's available all in one
place?

Hi,
I have definitely heard your frustration, we can try these methods to check if it works.
Is that error message “There was a problem sending the command to the program”? If so, we can
turn off the “Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)” setting. Run “Fix it for Windows 7”.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211494/en-au
On the other hand, maybe this problem is not in Excel, it is in Windows. We need to associate the file type with
corresponding program:
Right-click the Office       file that you want to open.
Select Open with,       then click Choose default program.
Select the appropriate       program to associate with the file, click to select the
Always use the       selected program to open this kind of file check box, and then click
OK.
Next, if the issue still exists, we can choose Run and enter Excel.exe /regserver .This will cause Excel to start up, re-register all of its registry keys, then quit. Now, try opening your Excel files.
Feel free to post back.

Opening files with double-click and FileVault

I'm experiencing an issue with 10.7.2 and something is telling me it's related to FileVault. When opening a .txt or .numbers file the associated application (TextEdit or Numbers) will open and display the document. But the pointer turns to the spinning disk and the application won't accept any clicks or keyboard shortcuts. If I alt+tab away from the application I cannot alt+tab or click the Dock icon to return to the application. After a few moments I have to Force Quit the application from the dock. I can also use kill-9 <PID> in Terminal to stop the process.
This *never* happened before 10.7.2. TextEdit will, about 20% of the time, recover after 1.5 - 2.0 minutes of me just leaving it alone.
This happens on *every* file I double-click for these applications. If I open the file from within the application (File | Open) it's fine, so I don't think this is a corrupt file problem.
I open most applications by selecting the desired document from Spotlight (command+space <filename>) - this has the same effect as double-clicking the file with the mouse.
Can this be related to FileVault? I'm open to coincidences, but because I've used 10.7 the same way (double-click or, more often, Spotlight) when opening files and haven't seen this until I started using FileVault I'm leaning towards that.
I've not made any modifications to the OS - there are no auto-load programs and I've installed ony about five applications that didn't ship with OS X 10.7.
Anyone else seen this issue?

This was getting so frustrating I turned off FileVault and the problem went away. That's too bad, but there it is.

Mouse cannot open file with double click

Hi all,
Presently using latest iMac.
my files or folders on the desktop does not open with 2 left clicks. But it does if from the dock. However It will open only when I right click and mouse over to 'open' from the pull down menu. What setting did i not do correctly ?
F. Matt

You can look in System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad and check/adjust the double-click speed there, too.
If that doesn't help, I'd suggest you test for the same issue (the apparent inability to double-click) with another mouse.

Unable to open files by double-clicking on icon

Hello, Just purchased a Intel-based iMac (http://www.apple.com/support/imac/intel/.
I am unable to open files for Powerpoint and InDesign by double-clicking on the icon, but able to open when I select open on the top menu and then click on the file.
Adobe CS4
Powerpoint office 2004

Hi-
Go to System Preferences, Mouse, and look at the far right of the pane, where it says Double-Click.
Perhaps the Double-click speed is set too fast, and you are not double clicking fast enough.
Go ahead and move the slider for Double-Click speed more towards Slow (to the left) and try again.

Neooffice won't open file by double clicking on finder

This just started recently. If I double click on a file and Neooffice is not already open, it will start up and open the file. If Neooffice is already open, it will do nothing. I can still open files through the File->Open menu (much less convenient). Only Neooffice appears to be affected. I have tried reinstalling Neooffice - no difference.
Any ideas? The system software has been updated much more recently than Neooffice.

One of the Macs in our office is having the same problem. Nothing changed on the computer...no upgrades to OS or NeoOffice. It just suddenly stopped opening double-clicked files - unless NeoOffice is NOT running. My office manager is close to tears having to quit NeoOffice before opening another file.
I will attempt to install the latest version of NeoOffice, but, like another poster here, I hate to do that because the last time I upgraded it caused me an extreme amount of trouble.
One thing I did try that did no good was running a permissions fix through Disk Utility. I'm stumped on what could possibly cause this to just suddenly happen.

Cannot open file by double clicking it

Since upgrading to 6.0.2 I can't open a file by double clicking it. I get "There was a problem sending the command to the program."
Also, clicking on a link in an email (Thunderbird) nothing happens.

Sorry, restarting the computer seems to have fixed it.
