P: CC jumps to front when opening files in the background.

Say I'm in Lightroom and I want to open 5 or 6 shots into PS CC, and while they're opening I want to jump over to Chrome and check my email. Is PS supposed to keep jumping to the front every time another file opens? It's pretty frustrating and I don't remember it happening in previous versions of PS.

    Status has been changed to "In Progress". So now what? Months of Adobe's shareholders debating the merits of bug fixes or is that already been the holdup? Can hear it now: "But this won't bring us any new subscriptions. Anyone dealing with bugs is already locked in and paying, so who cares? Next item please...blah, blah blah."

    It's insane that they aren't throwing out a fix for this - it's paralyzingly and it's been over a year. What the hell?!?

    Came across this thread when searching for a fix... I can see MANY more arriving here over the next few months. 

    This DRIVES ME INSANE. 

    The only temporary way I have resolved the issue myself is to have your Adobe application run at start up... that way, by the time you've got a coffee everything is ready to go and you don't have to suffer the nagging screen when opening lol.

    Thanks

    I almost said I'm glad to know this isn't just something I'm doing wrong, but I realized that would be better...because at least then I could do something to fix it!

    Thanks for trying Ann but this isn't an issue with exporting files but sending them to PS for editing. Regardless of whether PS is already open or not, when you send a file to it for editing it will jump to the front, forcing LR (of whatever else you're using) into the background.

    Apparently Adobe missed the memo on multi-tasking in modern operating systems.

    No. Open LR or PS from scratch. See how many times it steals focus. 4-6 on windows.

    The problem may be caused by the way that you have set your preferences in the Post Processing section of Lr's File > Export module?

    That section gives you the choice between "Do Nothing, View in (app. of your choice), or Show in Finder.

    I have not experienced this issue on a Mac (OSX 10.11.6) running the latest versions of the Adobe CC programs.

    I keep Ps running in the background (but "Hidden") if I am running Lr; and Ps never jumps in front of Lr.
