Photoshop 9.01 double-click issue

Q: After updating to Photoshop 9.01 (CS2 patch), I now have to double click menu items to get them to work on a non-maximised image!
A: This is a known bug.
Suggested fixes:
1) Close or hide the Info Palette - F8 key
or
2) Work with a maximised image (maximise window, or hit F key)
or
3) Use keyboard shortcuts to access menu items (Alt+shortcut key+arrow keys)
A new patch is in the works.
See
this thread for more info.

in relation to the photoshop query, cs3 isnt fully supported in leopard 10.5 although i do beleive adobe are releasing an update for it so this should solve alot of issues
the double click settings should be roughly same as the powerbook you had
try different settings in mouse, in system preferences

There's nobody here but we users.
If you have a double click issue than slow the time down in System Preferences > mouse. The slow side gives you more time between clicks, faster is less time.
If you have tracking issues the preference slide bar range doesn't solve you can experiment with the settings as explained here:

Double Clicking Issue Feature Or Bug

Hi All,
I've been using Mac's for over ten years and I'm experiencing an issue unlike anything I've ever seen before. I have this double-clicking issue (maybe more appropriately "accidental double-clicking issue") in certain programs.
In iTunes for example, when I choose File/Add To Library and I double-click the root folder on my external hard drive (which contains subfolders such as Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music, Applications, etc..) iTunes begins to automattically import EVERYTHING on the folder without my having clicked the CHOOSE bubble. EVERYTHING!
Either I'm crazy and I'm just noticing this now or this is the most annoying bug/feature I've ever seen.
The issue also occurs in Mac The Ripper. When I went to choose a Save location and accidentally double-clicked a folder that had subfolders in it, I didn't get the opportunity to click CHOOSE. The Finder just assumed that my double-clicking a folder means that that is the folder I want to select.
I hope I'm explaining this clearly. I don't know I never noticed this "feature" before!
Is there anyway to turn it off?

There isn't anything similar between the two in a hardware sense. The two machines aren't sharing anything. I only use the Magic Mouse with the new 27" i7 iMac.
I tried to reproduce the effect in 10.5 to see if it was indeed a "feature", and it is. To a certain extent.
At this point I've come to the conclusion that this is supposed to happen, in 10.5 and 10.6 (possibly 10.4 or earlier too) when a folder and it's sub-folders contain compatible files respective to the program attempting to access them. However, I don't think it should happen when a folder contains subfolders that have files that are incompatible with the particular program that is currently being browsed.
Furthermore... I'm unable to reproduce the same issue today! This new 27" iMac i7 has been very "buggy" across the board!
Like for example;
When I first started it up, Airport and Firewire didn't appear in the Network preference pane in System Pref's. And it didn't recognize USB devices that I plugged in until I rebooted a few times.
It ran REEEEEALLLLLLY HOT! Hot like when you put your hand on the hood of a car thats been sitting in the sun. But today it seems to be running much cooler...
It also wont boot from any external hd or Disk Warrior 4.2 DVD.
But all in all it's still a pretty sweet, and crazy fast.

Double-click issue

Hi, I just upgraded from a powerbook g4 to a macbook pro with osx 10.5. I am having 2 issues.
1: no matter what I set for my double-click speed, I can't seem to double-click on files, folder names, etc. to edit their names. I have double-clicked at all speeds and the files just open, they don't allow me to edit. Is there a new command? Thank you.
2. i am running photoshop cs3 and it is extremely buggy. i am having trouble changing values inside the dialog boxes in photoshop. has anyone else run into this?

Photoshop not opening double clicked files anymore?

Hi all...
All of a sudden my copy of Photoshop CS1 has stopped opening files when they are double clicked in the finder or passed any other way. The only way I can get PS to open a file is by opening them from it's File menu! Draging a file to it's dock icon or selecting "edit in external editor" in iPhoto all no longer work when they used to before.
All of these actions start up PS but that is as far as it goes, it fires up and then just sits there!
Any suggestions as to why this might be? This sort of problem used to be sorted by rebuilding the desktop in OS 9. Is there a similar procedure for OS X?
Thanks in advance.

The fix is to reinstall Photoshop. You are missing a file called Adobe Unit Types which should be located in the ScriptingAdditions folder in your Library folder on your Macintosh HD.

Reinstalled Photoshop Elements 11 Double click?

Im reinstalling PSE 11 and was told to just double click on the PSE in the downloads....it pops up faded then disappears Never opens anything for the install:( Very frustrated!

Hi PixieMom,
The PSE 11 download consists of 2 files - One with .exe extension and the other with .7z extension.
You need to download both the files and then double click the .exe file to start the installation.
Please make sure you have both the files downloaded and in the same folder.
Alternatively you can try re-downloading PSE11 from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
Please make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.
Hope this helps.

Photoshop Elements 10 option-click issue

New install of Lion Server on a Mac Mini. It appears that the option-click key stroke to select a area of a photo to clone is not working. I get the error below on Elemens 9 and 10.
Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point).
Could this be an issue with the Magic Mouse? i used Systems Preferences / Keyboard Prefernces /Show Keyboard viewere to see that when I depress the 'option' key it is actually being depressed. Is the click on the mouse being 'recorded'?
I would just give up and buy Apeture but I have too much invested in Photoshop (software and knowledge). Where should I complain about this issue? Apple Store? This forum?
Could this be an issue with the Magic Mouse? I'm going to install 10 (have 9 installed today) on my Mac Air and use it without a mouse to see if I have the same problem.
Why do I feel like I am blazing trails? I hate that feeling.
Thanks in advance.

Installed Elements 10 trial on my Mac Air no issue. Converted my Magic Mouse over to my Mac Air via bluetooth. !AH AH!!!!!! Same problem. I think I have isolated it to something to do with the Magic Mouse. Tomorrow I will go buy a wired Mac Mouse at the Apple store to see if I have the same issue.
If anyone has some suggestions on how to isolate even more to the Magic Mouse then please step up!

Double click issue on loading.

Hi guys. My website has been up and running brillianty, but I have just noticed something. I have my navigation bar at the top of the page. To load things, I do
var myMovieClip = new contact_mc();
var myMovieClip2 = new aboutUs_mc();
var myMovieClip3 = new Join();
var myMovieClip4 = new ourWork_mc();
And then
topNav_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoFunction);
function gotoFunction(event:MouseEvent):void
    for (var i: int=0; i< container_mc.numChildren; i++)
        var child:DisplayObject = container_mc.getChildAt(i);
        container_mc.removeChild(child);
    if (event.target.name == "about_mc")
        container_mc.addChild(myMovieClip2);
        TweenLite.from(myMovieClip2, 1, {alpha:0, rotation:15});
    if (event.target.name == "contact_mc")
        container_mc.addChild(myMovieClip);
        TweenLite.from(myMovieClip, 1, {alpha:0, rotation:15});
    if (event.target.name == "join")
        container_mc.addChild(myMovieClip3);
        TweenLite.from(myMovieClip3, 1, {alpha:0, rotation:15});
    if (event.target.name == "work_mc")
        container_mc.addChild(myMovieClip4);
        TweenLite.from(myMovieClip4, 1, {alpha:0, rotation:15});
As I say, this has been working fine. But I accidently just clicked a button twice really fast, and it makes the tween stop half way, and the loaded content becomes semi transparent. I then tried clicking on a button twice for another button, and the same things happened. It happens when I click twice on one button at quite a fast pace.
Is there any reason this may be happening, or is there anything in my code I can do to stop this from happening?
Many thanks
Nick

One thing you could do is remove the event listener in the function, and then add it back after the tween is complete.

CS5: double-click on file does not open the file

If Photoshop is closed, double-click on a file will always successfully launch Photoshop and open the picture.
If Photoshop is running, double-clicking on a file will activate Photoshop, but very often the file does not open. It works from time to time though, and that seems to be on a random basis.
Opening a file through the Open command will always work.
I am working with 10.6.3 on a loaded Mac Pro.
Did anybody experience this difficulty? Any help would be appreciated, before I take more drastic measures like reinstalling the software of worse than that. I've already done the usual maintenance operations.

Caustic waltz, while brief, may have hit the nail on the head. If you do not want to continue this thread, you can search the forum for existing posts about Snow Leopard and file-program association confusion. Snow Leopard changed some things and that might be your issue.
More simply, do your image files have extensions? (.PSD, .JPG, etc...)
Hello Marian:
While browsing through my Adobe account, I saw that you took the time to leave a comment two days ago. While it did not solve my problem, I will mark your comment as "helpful" for several reasons. It could have been a cause. And I will add politeness, courtesy and language precision. I'm an old guy and I quite value those elements.
True, Snow Leopard changed changed the way files are associated to applications. Thank God! Here in our small office, we do a lot of cross-platform transfers and finally it works seamlessly. A good description of the new file identification system can be found here.
Now, here are the reasons why Snow Leopard cannot be put at fault in my case:
• If Photoshop CS5 is not launched, double-clicking on any psd, tiff or jpeg file will launch it and open properly.
• If Photoshop CS5 is already running, double-clicking on any psd, tiff, or jpeg file will activate Photoshop CS5 but will not open.
This points at either a bug or damaged Photoshop CS5, or maybe a damaged OS. Don't forget that out of maybe a hundred apps, this is the first time I meet with that problem. Of course, the easier course, but by no means guaranteed to work, is to presume that Photoshop CS5 is damaged or that its installation did not work properly. So I did the following things:
• I deactivated Photoshop CS5 and uninstalled it.
• I ditched all remaining files related to CS5, CS4, CS3, CS2, CS... yes I know, but then you know as well as I do0 that getting really rid of Photoshop is a daunting task. It took me almost two hours, but I am reasonably sure that the cleaning job was complete.
• I reinstalled Photoshop CS5.
Now everything works just fine at least for the time being. Time will tell, of course, but I think that the problem is solved.

Double click action from trackpad button?

Hi all,
I've had my iBook G4 for a few months now and last week I've been noticing that a single click on my trackpad button would product doubl click results. This is really annoying when I:
- try to use a form checkbox and it quickly changes and changes back
- try to make a selection photoshop and it just disappears
- try to open a new tab in Firefox/Camino/Safari/etc and two tabs open of the same URL
I'm noticing that if I press on the left side of the button it tends to be a single click and the right (most common) gives the double. Did I accidentally change something in the System Preferences? Any experience on fixing this problem?
Thanks to anybody who can help.

Hi Eggz
I experience the same here with my iBook G4 12''. It is quite like my three year old nokia cell phone registering double input from single touches all the time. Only the iBook is just four weeks old.
The 'Ignore accidental trackpad input' option in System Preferences is turned on all the time. I unchecked it and it does not appear to have any effect on this double clicking issue.
After four years of heavy TiBook trackpad button clicking (no mouse ever on my laptop), and knowing my friends 12'' PowerBook, the iBook trackpad button feels very lousy. Its unprecise movement/action point and its hollow plastic clicking sound do not live up to the standards I am used to. Ok, it's only an iBook - but it's disappointing anyway.
I will talk to support tomorrow (today a holiday) and get back with news afterward.

Bridge Does Not Automatically Bring Up Photoshop When the Photo is Double-Clicked

I have just purchased CS4 with Bridge for my new MacIntosh. In Bridge for the PC, when I double click a photo it automatically brings up Photoshop. On the Mac version, it gives me an error message saying that part of the application is not loaded. I completely uninstalled the program, and reloaded the application and still get the same message. So in Bridge on the Mac, to get around this, I right click the picture and go to "Open With" and there are two entries: "Open with CS4 (default)" and "Open with CS4." This works if I pick either option. My Windows version only has "Open with CS4 (default)" as the option.
I called Adobe support (in India?) with no solution.
I really like the double click option rather that using the pop-out menu choice. What is wrong with the Mac install, and how can I fix this issue?

Thank you for your help. I updated the software and it "healed" itself.

Photoshop CS1 files not opening with a double click?

I'm not sure if this is an Adobe related issue, but I recently installed Tiger on my 2005(white/1.33ghz/PPC G4) ibook. With Panther, and with every other OS/application, I was able to double a Photoshop File and have Photoshop open along with the file. Here's what happens now: I double click the photoshop file (any photoshop cs1 file), Photoshop opens, but my file doesn't open. I have to find the file and open it from the menu bar in order to access it. This is very annoying for me as I open Photoshop files more than anything. Here's what I've done: I got info on the Photoshop file to make sure Photoshop CS1 is selected as the host application. Check preferences and settings in Photoshop, (didn't find anything related though, but everything is the way they were when I was on Panther. Possible Obstructions: I also have Photoshop 6 on 0S 9 installed on my computer. I have many filters on this version that I don't on CS1. I don't think this is the reason but I could be wrong. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Except Adobe tells you to reinstall Photoshop (or least that has been their recommendation), which is completely unnecessary. The problem is that this is missing when you do a system upgrade:
"/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types"
Reinstalling Photohop will, of course, create the ScriptingAdditions folder and place the "Adobe Unit Types" file inside it. If you still have your Previous System folder, or a backup of it, or access to another machine with Photohop installed, you can simply put the ScriptingAdditions folder into your /Library folder. If not you can create the ScriptingAdditions folder yourself (note there is NO space in the name), then download and unzip this:
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/pdfs/AdobeTypes.zip
and put the "Adobe Unit Types" into the ScriptingAdditions folder.

Double click does not open CR2 in Photoshop CS 6

I just moved Photoshop CS6, Bridge CS6, and Lightroom 4.1 to a new MacBook Pro Retna running Lion 10.7.4
Camera Raw 7.1 is installed.
If I double-click a JPG image in Bridge or Mini-Bridge, it will open in Photoshop.
If I select a JPG image in Lightroom 4.1 and then select "Edit In" Photoshop CS6, I will get the normal dialog box that asks "What to Edit" with the three options. The image then appears in Photoshop.
If I double-click a CR2 (Canon 5D mk III) image in Bridge or Mini-Bridge nothing happens (the image does NOT open in Camera Raw).
If I select a CR2 (same camera) in Lightroom 4.1 Photoshop immediately opens (no "What to Edit" dialog), no image appears in Photoshop and Camera Raw is not launched.
If I select a CR2 (same camera) in the Mac Finder, Photoshop is launched with the image in Camera Raw.
How can I fix the behavior of Lightroom, Bridge, and Mini-bridge?

I also have Photoshop CS6 installed on a Windows 7 x64 laptop. In Windows double-clicking on a CR2 image in either Bridge or mini-Bridge loads the image into Camera Raw.
Edit in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 4.1 launches Photoshop without the dialog box, the same as on the Mac. The image is displayed directly in Photoshop and does not launch the Camera Raw window.
My guess is that there is an issue with Camera Raw 7.1 or Lightroom 4.1 that is causing this behavior.

When I double click on a photo in Photoshop 10, Organizer, it is replaced by another photo.

I am using a free downloaded trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer with Windows 7. Not every time, but often enough, when I double click on a photo in the catalog, it will replace that photo with another photo. Then I have to search all over to find the original photo. Additionally, I was in an album and right clicked on a photo, then asked that it be rotated 90 degrees right, and instead the photo was replaced by another photo. I've been through my entire catalog twice and cannot find the original photo. Now, as I page down through the photos, it seems to be mixing in different photos about every other photo.
Am I doing something wrong?
Is this a Windows 7 issue?
I realize I'm just using a trial version and that this problem may not exist in the real thing (if indeed it's a problem and not a user issue), but if I can't get the trial to work any better than this, I will not be purchasing the actual version.
Any help?

I don't know what happened but as soon as I posted this request for help it immediately is working fine. Thanks whatever.

Can't double-click on icons to open Photoshop CS4

When I double-click various Photoshop files (.jpg, .tif, etc...) I get the "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file". But they open fine when I go to File>Open. I've changed the extensions to default open with Photoshop but that didn't help. Any easy solutions? THANKS!

I'm also having the same issue with InDesign.
Ahhh… well your issue is not related to Photoshop directly then. I suggest you run disk permissions, on your main hard drive - don't worry its a fairly safe activity.
Also try this free application…
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
This will do Permissions repair as well as other important maintenance tasks. Good idea to back up first, but these kind of activities on mac are really 99% safe and recommended.
To reset Photoshops preferences hold down Command > alt > shift while starting Photoshop. Sounds like your issue is not going to be sorted by this though
