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.

    I cannot export a foto from Lightroom in Adobe Photoshop. I use Lightroom 4.1 and Photoshop Elements 10. In the menue-list the export is gray ("other editors" is black and the foto is not exported in PS.

    I agree too. From LR4 I can open Elements 9 but no photo appears. I was doing fine with LR3 and now everything is amiss.

    Credit where credit is due, thanks Adobe! The 4.1 official release fixes this issue (for me without further complications) and appears to run much faster than 4.0 did.

    Re-installed Photoshop CS5.1 and problem was resolved. All referenced Photoshop links in "Edit In" are present and working. Looks like an install issue.

    Downloaded and installed LR 4.1 RC2 / Camera Raw 7.1 from Adobe Labs. Problem with external editing to Photomatrix appears to work. However, editing in Photoshop CS5.1 still does not work. The link to "Edit in Photoshop" is grayed out as are links to open in Photoshop for Panorama, HDR, Smart Objects and Layers. Photoshop CS5.1 is uptodate with Camera Raw 6.7.

    LR4 does not allow "Edit In" to Photoshop Windows CS5.1-64bit. Edit in photoshop is grayed out. External editing to CS5.1 or 3rd party gives "Unexpected error performing command, bad argument #1 to 'Lower' (string expected, got nil)"

    I echo that feeling. Adobe, could you please have someone acknowledge this thread. And can you let us know with a ballpark estimate when will a final 4.1 release be available.

    Hello...Adobe...is anyone from your company paying attention to this thread? When will the actual 4.1 release be available in a version that both fixes this problem and is stable and snappy when doing so?

    I must agree. I had to go back to using 3.4.
    LR4.1 RC is slow and unstable. I tried it again yesterday and it locked up in develop mode when making adjustments to a very large file( 160 MB).

    I installed the LR4.1RC which fixed the editor problem but crashed multiple times and was so slow it was unusable. So unless this is ficed and a new release available, someone tell me how to get a refund please.

    Thanks
