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.

Das Problem ist mit der neuen Version von LR4. Meine plug-ins funktionierten Problemlos mit LR3 und LR4 Beta. Ich hoffe dass Adobe so schnell wie moeglich das Problem beseitigt.

Hallo Karl,
Es handelt sich nicht um die Beta Version, sondern um die Vollversion mit Testzeitraum. Habe auch schon probiert einen Nik Filter zu deinstallieren und neu zu installieren, hat aber leider auch nicht funktioniert.

Gruß und danke für die Nachfrage.

Hallo Silvia, handelt es sich bei der Testversion um die Lightroom 4 Beta? Die Problem mit den externen Plugins ist erst mit der Vollversion von Lightroom 4 ein Issue geworden.
Kann das leider nicht nachvollziehen da bei mir alles auf dem Mac läuft

Lightroom 4 ist als Testversion installiert. Wenn ich versuche aus Lightroom 4 einen der Nik Filter oder Photoshop elements 9 zu öffnen, bekomme ich folgende Fehlermeldung:
Unexpected error performing command:bad argumet # 1 to 'lower'(string expected.got.nil).
In Lightroom 3 funktioniert alles reibungslos. Als Betriebssystem ist Windows vista installiert.
Liegt es an der Testversion oder ist das ein anderer Fehler?

I have installed the trial version of CS5 on my MAC 10.7.3 and indeed the NIK plugins work in LR4.
Then I saved the plist file that was created to the desktop (copy) so I had an additional copy.

Then I removed the CS5 trial version throug the un-installer.
After the un-istall (with the un-installer app) the plist file was still in the library so I thought this is good.

Then I started LR4 but the plugins did not work anymore. So this means there is more required then just this plist file I guess, unless I did something wrong.

It means that the patch on a MAC does not work.

PS. This is the text inside the plist file.
File is called - com.adobe.Photoshop.plist

This is the text that is inside the file:
