| Photoshop CS and Tiger
I installed Tiger using archive and install and everything seemed to go smoothly. I had 10.3.9 installed before I installed Tiger. I own a PB 15inch 1.67ghz 1gb Ram. Problem: Double clicking a file launches Photoshop but not the file. I can open files via the open command in Photoshop, with no problem. But I can't double click any file and have it open in PS. Should I reinstall AdobeCS or reinstall Tiger or is her a fix PLEASE HELP |

Archive & Install does _not_ retain your apps' installation. Some might still work (since they don't install stuff all around the system), but others will break this way. Reinstall apps that misbehave. Basically, an Archive & Install is like a clean installation.

I solved that once through reinstalling it, though. It's something in its prefs AFAIK.

If it does have something to do with just the preferences file, try rebuilding it like this: You can re-create the Photoshop preferences file to eliminate problems caused by a damaged preferences file. Note: Re-creating the Photoshop preferences file restores settings to their defaults. To re-create the Photoshop preferences file: 1. Quit Photoshop. 2. Drag the Photoshop preferences file to the Trash: -- Photoshop CS: Drag the Adobe Photoshop CS Prefs.psp in the Users/[ user profile ]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS Settings folder to the Trash. -- Photoshop 7.x: Drag the Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Prefs in the Users/[ user name ]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 7.0 folder to the Trash. 3. Drag the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist file from the Users: [user name]; Library: Preferences folder to the trash. (The com.adobe.Photoshop.plist file is a Photoshop preferences file run at the system level. Like other Photoshop preferences file, it's re-created when Photoshop opens.) 4. Restart Photoshop. If the problem recurs after you re-create the Photoshop preferences file, the problem isn't related to the preferences file. To restore custom settings, drag the file you moved in step 2 back to its original location, and then click Yes to replace the new preferences file. I had a problem a while back with photoshop, I'm not even sure what it was anymore but I do remember that it was the preferences file that caused it... Give that a try, maybe you won't have to reinstall the whole program. -Murph |

| It's not Tiger...
...Panther's "Archive & Install" did the same. The missing file is Library>Scripting Additions>Adobe Unit Types. Without this, double clicking a Photoshop file launches the app. but does not open the file - as you describe. If you can find this file and put it back, it should work, but reinstalling Photoshop is probably a simpler method.

Wow, this had been bugging me forever. Never thought it was such a simple solution... and usually I'm quick to reinstall when a program starts acting funny. I suppose I didn't wanna dig up my CS disks.
