Weird Photoshop/Mac OS X problem

[macmatt]

I've just set up my new mac and transferred all my apps and stuff across fine. However, I can now only open files in Photoshop through the File menu and Open..

If I double click a photoshop file in the finder or drop it onto the PS icon in the dock, it opens/switches to Photoshop but doesn't open the file, very strange :thinking:

I'm using Photoshop CS and none of the other CS apps (Illustrator, InDesign) are having this problem..

Ideas, anyone?

When you open Photoshop do you get a message about missing library files or similar? We have this problem at work on a machine which is split into a number of partitions with PS on the main one - if we boot with any of the other partitions PS cannot find certain files it needs in the library of the current start-up disc. I think when you copied the apps across you also needed to copy these files. I think your best bet however would be to re-install PS from scratch.

This Photoshop problem appears on various macs where I work. A quick search revealed this Adobe techdoc (http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/329996.html)
