P: "Edit in PS 2014" opens PS 2014 in Wrong Location

Software bug. MAC OS X Yosemite (and Mavericks before it). Using LR 5.6 & Photoshop CC2014.2.1 CC subscription. When an external firewire backup drive is connected (the backup drive is a clone of my MacBook Pro that stays connected for scheduled automatic backups, etc.), when I am in Lightroom and I select "Edit (an image) in Photoshop", Photoshop opens in the wrong location. In other words, it opens the Photoshop application on my backup drive instead and I get a warning dialogue box that says "The application has been moved, and its path has changed. To update the product configuration, click update". I have a choice to update or not. Of course, I choose to not update that. That's a bug (in my opinion.) When the backup drive is not connected the correct PS 2014 application opens. Bottom line: I should be able to keep a backup drive connected and have the Edit in Photoshop open the correct application.

One way you could easily solve this issue is to change External Editing in Preferences - change the first listing where it shows by default "Edit in Adobe PS CC 2014" - simply have the the user actually confirm where the application is located, thus forcing the user to choose (and thus confirm) the location of the PS 2014 application on the primary volume that the user intends to lave Lightroom open (would be similar to what the user has to do to choose an additional external editor in the same Preferences panel.

I'e tried everything to solve this bug. Reinstalling PS 2014 does not work. Deleting plists files does not work. There seems to be no user workaround available. Please solve this problem with a fix. Thank you. James Farrell, Prescott, AZ - jamesfarrell7681@gmail.com

As a temporary measure rename the backup app to something like AAALightroom.

This issue was happening in the previous version as well and I was hoping it would be fixed in this update, but it hasn't. After making a backup of my main drive to another, external drive, opening a file for the first time from LR calls the backup version instead of my original version.

PS-picker plugin still there and enabled. Disabled the plugin and it seems to be working now... Will keep an eye on it.

Does this plug-in still work. I have the same problem as I had last year in which LR edit in PS opens my backup copy of PS. Now I have latest versions of LR and PS and recently installed El Capitan. Seems that the plugin should still be there.

Whenever I try to edit a photo from lightroom using Photoshop (by pressing command-E), I get an error stating Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 cannot be opened because of a problem. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Photoshop and Lightroom, but the error persists. I can edit if I start Photoshop first, and then, from Lightroom, press command-E.

Here are the problem details and system configuration:

The plugin works for me. Cannot understand why it is needed in August 2015 after the bug was raised so long ago. I have CC 2015 and a backup mirror permanently mounted that Lightroom seems to have the hots for!

I have this too: Open with... from Finder behaves like Edit in... out of LR did (although the Plugin has fixed the issue from LR)
So just fyi

This is my problem and I do not think it is the same....
When PS is not open and I edit from LR>PS, PS will open in the front. If PS is open and I edit from LR>PS w a DNG PS will not come to the front (stay in background but images opens) but it will come to the front if I edit a .tiff, .jpg or png that is in LR. This happened when I moved LR cat from an external HD to the internal HD and that is where it is now and staying. It must have to do with a preference somewhere or how LR reads the DNG file or the sequencing of LR.

Additionally I just had a new 2Tb HD installed. Also I just finished loading the CC updates.

Any suggestions are appreciated and all ARC is up to date.

PShop always opens in the correct CC copy, just not in front

Thanks for this work around. I have been dealing with this on and off for awhile, and this seems to be working!

I too suffered from Lightroom 5 using PS CS6 on my backup disk.
I simply changed the name of the backup app to AAAAAdobe Photoshop CS6.app
Lightroom then used the correct app on my system disk.
Just remember to change the name back if when restoring from backup.
