Drag and Drop in PS does not work anymore

[Wulfgen]

Hello,
someone out there may know something about this - I'm running a MacG4 with Photoshop CS.. I just upgraded (4 days ago to Tiger - 10.4) and noticed that the ability to drop a file on the PS icon now no longer works.

Has this happened to someone out there? is there a "fix" to this? what is going on? Its driving me nuts to go thriough the open menu every time I have to edit a file.

Any ideas.....?

Reinstalling should fix your problems. There are some files in Library > Application Support > Adobe that are missing. Reinstall should fix this.

Usually, this can get fixed by telling OSX to use Photoshop as the default for opening various type of image files like .psd, .tif etc.

Click on an image file, lets say a .tif, while in Finder and go to File menu/Get info. You can also right click and use the pop up menu to select get info.

Where you see Open With select Photoshop. Then see where it says to use that app to open oll files of that type and click on Change All. If you don't see thisl click the little triangle next to Open With.

Repeat with all image types you want to open in Photoshop. When yu upgraded to 10.4, the install defaulted everything back to Preview as the preferred app.





Using OSX 10.3.9 on a G4

Followed the advice -- copied a Scripting Additions folder from another system to the library -- took out the "space" between Scripting and Additions -- restarted the computer and it worked!
