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.

    Topaz Labs responded to my enquiry saying that they were getting a few complaints and were investigating the issue. I had found this site so I told them that the problem was at Adobe and that JustMe06 had given a workaround that works for windows. Got a nice thank you from Topaz.

    I feel better knowing that Adobe is taking responsibility for the problems. Strongly suggest that the tech help desk be made aware of this! All they do is point the finger at Nik and tell you that you are on your own.

    It's a bit driving your new car home and you notice that it's only got three wheels. When you take it back to the car yard, they fit a bicycle wheel and tell you to bring it back in two week's time because the factory's run out of cup holders.

    Hey we know how to fix this now, but you can't have the fix because there are other problems that we haven't solved yet. What's wrong with this picture?

    I have the latest versions of the software from Nik and Athentech and neither work with LR4. I contacted Athentech and Nik and got a reply only from Athentech and they said re-install but as I said, neither still work

    I too can't use my external editing software since installing the Lightroom 4 upgrade. Nik Software Silver Efecs Pro2 and Perfectly Clear LR plug-ins no longer work even after re-installing, come on Adobe, fix this fast please!
