LR 4.4 update broke my PS5 link

Hi, I wonder if anyone else has had this problem.I've searched the Adobe forums, but failed to find a working solution.

 

I'm quite new to Lightroom, being an ACR fan, but getting to like it. LR4.3 was running without problems, but when I updated to v4.4 the link to my default external editor, CSPS5 ceased working. Got an error message that the program couldn't be found, update the link. Clicked OK, but no luck. I had not moved PS.

 

Tried deleting the PS .plist file, but no luck.

 

Asked LR to use PS5 as alternative editor and when choosing this it worked perfectly, but refused to use it as default editor. PS opened but the file wasn't passed to it.

 

I have reverted back to LR4.3 (thanks to Time Machine) and all is working fine. What's up?

 

Any suggestions? I really don't want to uninstall and reinstall PS, or Lightroom come to that.

 

I'm running MAC OSX 10.6.8 on the iMac and Lion on the MBP.

 

Thanks for any good ideas.

 

Tim

I don't know, but I do know that last week when had a problem with PS I got on a chat with an Adobe technician who walked me right to the solution in about 5 minutes. This was after I screwed around for about 2 hours trying to solve the problem myself and I never would have solved this issue without the help. So, I would suggest you go to the Adobe website and navigate to technical support, open up a chat box and see if they can help.

 

Good luck.

I can second that idea. The chat function is very good and often helps.
