P: Edit In External Editor does not work/function

I can not send images from LR4 to any external editor via Photo>Edit In. My system is Mac OS 10.7.3. Using the Edit In command fails to open the external editor and no error message results. This occurs whether the images have the 2012 Process Version applied or not. My external editors are primarily PSE10 and Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.0. This is an important part of my workflow.

I have reinstalled PSE10 and updated to the newest version of Silver Efex Pro.

It's now working fine (HDR Efex export preset). Have no idea why. I haven't changed anything!

Regarding HDR Efex pro not working on Mac 10.7.3. I have upgraded to LR4.1RC I have reinstalled CS5.1 with no effect. Also I have tried to reinstall HDR Efex Pro but during the installation it does not show LR4 as a compatible program so I can only reinstall to LR3 which is still installed. Interestingly HDR Efex was working with LR4.0!

That doesn't match my WIN experience - I exported a catalog from a Mac Airbook with presets stored with catalog to use the catalog as my basis - my Nik editors work if slowly in the WIN version but I have CS4 installed on my PC. On the Mac Airbook, which is less than a month old and only has the PS 6 Beta installed, neither LR 4 nor RC1 work with Nik as an external editor - would prefer that Nik works the way it always has as an external editor where I do not have to set up presets. I previously had Silverexefx Pro before buying the other Nik family members and it worked as an external editor on our iMac with presets stored with catalog.

I've got all my Nik programs working except HDR Efex. Any ideas on this?

AHHHH good point! HAH... I'll go grab that. No I hadn't installed it. I thought it was different.

And why are you reporting this in the thread relating to external editors, when there's a separate thread about it:

Well, I've found another problem. This time it's the Flickr uploaded that isn't working as it goes through the process of uploading then shows an error message and fails to complete the upload.

Do you have ACR 6.7RC installed? If not, you'd have to render using LR, as ACR 6.6 does not support the 5DMkIII.
