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.

    Mr. Ted, can you give us some more detail? Does Photoshop CS4 not show up in your "Edit in" list, not launch at all, or not launch with the correct image?

    I have the Lightroom trial - I downloaded Lightroom 4.1 to see if the "edit in" was corrected. Worked for the NIK filters but I could not "edit in" CS4.

    I had previously downloaded CS5trial to try and fix the problem and I thought that might be a problem so I uninstalled the CS5 trial. Rebooted the computer - still cannot edit in CS4.

    Running windows 7 - 64bit

    Anyone else having a problem with "edit in" to CS4??

    We definitely fixed the bug that we saw and are very puzzled by the comments of people who say it's not working for them. I want to get to the bottom of that.

    You mean you're still not certain whether it's fixed or not?

    Thanks to those of you who have confirmed the fix worked. I'm going to contact a few of you individually to see if I can better understand why you might still be having trouble.

    I should have made it clear - I installed and run Adobe Lighroom 4.1 RC
