P: CC 2014 always creates an empty pslog.txt in my home directory.

This log file gets recreated on every launch and is always empty. You shouldn't be writing empty files on a top level directory that's visible to users!

Given that I haven't done that, I'd still say the message (and file) should not appear!

Which is what it should say if you have disabled headlights logging.

With the most recent update, the file is not empty. It contains the line: 00000.2014.08.08_07:29:04.510(+00.000) Headlights logging is not enabled

If you have Xcode installed, just run the following command in Terminal:

setfile -a V ~/pslog.txt

Even if it exists, it'll be hidden forever in your Finder.

You're right, that's what I'm seeing as well. I was originally reproducing it by deleting the log and then relaunching Photoshop.

Thanks for the response!

OK, I can reproduce this - the file is created when the app launches, and deleted when the app exits. It appears that one of our debugging logs is incorrectly being created (but not written to) when the app launches.

And we have a tester investigating this now.
