Photoshop CC "file-open-desktop" problems

Why do I get a list showing every folder and every image file therein (a huge list) when I really want just a list of folders? Can't find a preference to change this. Also, when I do scroll to the desired file and image file, I can't click-select that file and cannot open it.

Carolyn,
Are you saying you've been waiting for weeks for this file to save - and have made no prograss, and now your program is frozen from it? If so, I would force close the application at this point. My guess is, you aren't going to make any progress. I would give the steps for the force close, but I do't know which Operating System you are using.... If you need help with it - let me know
ugh - I hate it when that happens, especially as you will most likely lose all your work - unless you are in the habit we all tend to forget.. save and save often

G5 Tower Crashes Photoshop on File Open

My G5 2.0ghz DP Tower started closing Photoshop whenever I tried to use File>Open from within Photoshop CS3. I reinstalled PS to no effect. I then reinstalled OSX 10.4.11 and PS to no effect. Files can be opened by double clicking on them with no crash. All other applications still allow File>Open normally. I previously had PS CS2 still installed on my G5 and it too closed on this command. I have since removed PS CS2.

Backup and clone your drives.
Repair them with Disk Warrior 4.
Scan your files for corruption with MicroMat TechTool Pro 4/5.
Format a drive and start from scratch.
A good setup is to have 3-4 drives.
Boot drive for OS and apps
Disable primary scratch on boot and direct it to a dedicated alternate drive #2.
Media drive for projects.
Backups (at least two).
Alsoft Disk Warrior and SuperDuper can help - hopefully you would have picked those up in the past. Preventative maintenance weekly.

File Open Removal Problems

How to remove the File Open program when the Add Remove doesn't do it. I am thinking that the File Open program is blocking the download of Adobe Reader.

You can uninstall the FileOpen plugin by running this tool:
http://plugin.fileopen.com/tools/FileOpenUninstallTool.exe
However the FileOpen plugin should not prevent the download/install of Adobe Reader.

Photoshop CS6 File Open Dialog missing Preview ?

Why did Adobe remove the file preview area from the File > Open dialog box? I like having all my file requestors showing Details mode so I need the Preview window when I am navigating, browsing and opening files.
Illustrator CS6 still has a Preview window, granted it only works on AI files, it should be able to preview PDFs and EPS files correctly, let alone all raster formats.

See this thread:

You're not likely going to get it back, but there are codecs you can add that will ease the pain, and potentially even make other parts of your system work better than they do now for your needs.

File.open("e") problem???

this is the (js) file to edit:
var pdfResolution = 70 ;
var skale = 1 ;
var pdfSourcePath = "/c/Eigene%20Dateien/Eigene%20Bilder/schi/DSC01176_pdfs/";
var jpgTargetPath = "/c/Eigene%20Dateien/Eigene%20Bilder/schi/DSC01176_pdfs/";
//test
...and more
skript is file:
skript.open("e");
set text:
     var tex= "var pdfResolution = " + res + " ;";
     tex += "\nvar skale = " + ms+" ;"
     tex += "\nvar pdfSourcePath = \"" + p+"/"+n.split(".")[0]+"_pdfs/\";"
     tex +="\nvar jpgTargetPath = \"" + p+"/"+n.split(".")[0]+"_pdfs/\";"
read the first line to move the pointer and write:
     skript.readln();
     skript.writeln(tex);
i also tried write instaed of writeln, or writeln 4 single lines.
just for testing:
     skript.writeln("blub");
     var test = skript.readln();
     alert(test)
file (skript) is opened in my editor or not, with "observe Changes" feature or not, no difference.
problem is, some times the file is not written correctly.
lines or parts of it are deleted or added.
every combination I've tried, sometimes it produces Failures.
and writeln("blub"), never works!?
test is sometimes //test, st, or nothing!?
So, dear reader, if you have an idea, please let me know.
Chris
at the end, of course:
     skript.close(); skript=null;

Chris,

And the problem iiiisssss!!!:
the length of the String(s)
if the length before/after is eq. = no problem
if not, chars are added or deleted.
Understood that
please once again, help me find out if this is normal behavior or a failure?
and, is the problem in front of, or behind the screen?
edit
i asked a friend (programmer), he meant: "normally it's not a good idea (edit).
read the entire file, edit the string and write it completey back to the file
ok, i will do so.
I seen you script, it seems you re-write all the file, i guess it's you've choiced for this option
So.. have you other problem ? or all is all right ?

Binary file open .. problem with formatting

dear all,
probably it is too much time I am not using any more Labview, but I have a problem in opening the attached data file.
it is supposed to be a matrix of 1000x316, with integer values up to 16 bit (65k levels).
In matlab i open it with fopen command, and assigning the format as "uint16"..
now I want to create a quick viewer in labview, but I can not go beyond the classic binary string...
may you help me with this stupid problem?
regards,
Edo

Is this what you need? It results in a 1000x316 array of U16s.

Can Adobe Photoshop CS6 files open in CS4

Is it possible for me to open CS6 files to CS4 in photoshop

There can be some capability problems. CS6 has features that did not exist in the CS4 time frame. If you saved normal image files like Jpeg, PNG, Gif etc they should be OK. However layer files like Tiff, PSD and PSB can have problems. If PSD and PSB files were saved with the max compatibility option some incompatible layers may be added as raster layers so most of you work will still be usable.

File open/exists problems under Mavericks

If I try to open a file under Mavericks, it says Path is not a valid path even if the files exists for real.
I even tried app.project.file.exists for an opened project, and it return false.
Anybody have an idea ?
CS6, OSX 10.9
By the way my project file is on the desktop, i also tried putting it in Documents, Downloads,etc.. but didn't work either... However it is working on an external drive...

Wow, ahahah.
Found the bug source. A big OSX security flaw in my opinion. As the file was on the desktop, the path was Users/Me/Desktop/... However, I had a network connection to my pc, and the link was to my user account, Users/me/... So OSX was not trying to open its own /Users/ path but my PC folder... Somebody could fool the system, by creating a volume called /Users/... with some fake duplicate files, and someone could try to open something on his drive, but in fact it would load the evil Users volume.
I don't understand how this could be possible. I never understood how bad the OSX network volumes system was that bad, but never tought it would be so crappy.

Photoshop CS5 'file info' pemissions problem

I recently had to replace the had drive and reinstall Photoshop CS5. I used to be able to access the file info box and add metadata or read the camera settings. Now the file info box loads but the fields are not available. if I log out and use the guest account on my Mac it works fine so Adobe support told me it is a permissions issue that prevents the box from loading. I have no idea where to correct this.
I am running Photoshop at 32 bit so my scanner will work, but I tried it at both 32 & 64, but the file info box doesn't load regardless of this setting. I also tried unistalling & reinstalling Photoshop. I have obviously messed up a user permissions setting somewhere but I don't know where to fix it.
Here is a screen capture showing the two views. The top is logged into my usual account and bottom is on the guest account.Thanks for any suggestions!

How can I open multiple files as Photoshop Raw files at the same time for Photoshop CS6 extended on a PC?

I am trying to open 20-25 files at the same time as Photoshop Raw [*.RAW] files.
The only way I can open multiple files is if i leave the file type as All Formats. When I change it to Photoshop Raw [*.RAW], the files a deselected.

Use bridge. Select all the files then press ctrl-r or cmd-r to load the selected files into camera raw.
If you try this in Photoshop use File>Open As then for file type choose camera raw. (I have not tested open as for opening multiple files)

Can I change the default location for File, Open?

When I click on File, Open in CS2 (it came with the computer) Pictures is always the Library that opens. Can this be changed? I have created a Library called Photography. That is where I download and store my photographs and where I work on them.

As an alternative to futzing with Photoshop's File - Open dialog, you could try to change your workflow a bit and browse to your photo folders with Bridge or Explorer, then dragging photos to a Photoshop shortcut (icon on desktop). You can, of course, set up Windows Explorer shortcuts to open to anywhere you want.
Going one further, I suggest against using the Windows "Libraries" feature entirely - it's just an abstraction, and it's always been a bit buggy. Just create folders on your hard drive to work from instead. Everything works better done that way.

When i go to file open illustrator does nothing.

I upgraded to OSX Yosemite last week and also the newest version of Illustrator cc 2014. Now when i start illustrator i can open a file using File > open, no problem. however if i want to open additional files I go to file > open and nothing happens. Open dialogue box does not come up at all. I've tried opening different files to make sure its not the file itself as well. I tried command + O too. still no go. If i use the finder and double click the file opens ok. ive uninstalled 2 times and deleted any preferences. Im wondering if this is a bug or am an idiot and just missing something.

No still no fix for me. I have to close illustrator or double click in my finder to get something to open. I also noticed its doing it with photoshop as well except photoshop gives the error message "could not complete your request because of program error" doesnt crash photoshop at all just wont let me open additional files. When i have time i think ill call support....

Photoshop CC, Change opening splash screen?

Hello,
Has anyone figured out how to change the Creative Cloud version of the splash screen?,
I'd like to add custom artwork on the top corner and my company name when loading the application.

Because Photoshop will launch successfully with a different OS X user account, can someone suggest which specific Console log(s) in both accounts to investigate (or search for the existence of) that may help diagnose why Photoshop won't launch?
Additional behavior:
In the problematic account, Photoshop starts to launch, and its menus appear. Many menus are black, but when you select a menu choice (such as Photoshop > About Photoshop or File > Open), then all Photoshop menus and choices gray out. Then you have to force quit Photoshop.
However, if you first (while menu choices are still black) choose File > Open in Bridge CS6 (or words to that effect), then Bridge will open.
Thanks.

Problems opening files via 'File - Open/cmd-O' in Photoshop CC 2014 after Yosemite installation

I upgraded to Yosemite on Friday and shortly after, I noticed that when attempting to open multiple files, after I've opened a few files (it's not a set amount, sometimes happens on the 3rd file, sometimes on the 6th etc) I get the error message 'could not complete your request because of a program error' - the only way out of this is to quit Photoshop and restart which is obviously very frustrating and time consuming!
I spent some time on live chat to Adobe yesterday and we deleted settings, preferences, uninstalled, reinstalled, moved Colour settings folder to desktop but nothing worked. I have a call scheduled with Adobe to go through lots more tests at the end of the week as I've been advised this isn't a global issue but I thought I'd post on here in the meantime to see if anybody had any thoughts as to what could be causing this. After speaking to Adobe, I have since realised that even after getting this error message, I can still drag files to the PS icon and open them that way - I have just opened 20 files this way with no error message, it's just when I used the File-open/cmd O method (my usual way of working) to open files that is happens.
It was all fine before installing Yosemite and I am on the very latest CC 2014 version (this problem does not happen in the CC version incidentally, only the 2014 version - so I'm using that as a workaround for now).
I also had issues opening files in Illustrator on Friday, I was unable to open files using file - open/cmd O (nothing happened after I clicked it, but I got no error message), again, I had to drag the file to the AI icon in the dock to open it but that seems to be ok now even though I haven't changed anything with the Illustrator application - just thought I'd mention it incase it was related!
If anybody can help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Glad it's not just me!
Interestingly, when I spoke with Apple, I tried it in a new user account and the problem went away. Apple said to speak to Adobe which I have done and after deleting settings/prefs again the problem remained. Adobe say as it's fine in a new account then it's an Apple issue not Adobe.
I did find a workaround for now though, when using file - open, set it to list view instead of column view - this fixed my problem but sadly I'm used to working in column view so it's not ideal!
I also got the same error message when trying to replace a set of brushes yesterday too. I need to go back to Apple now but just need to schedule some time to sit and troubleshoot!
