P: Photoshop creates a gude log while working with files

I use Bridge in production for my product photography day job BUT the idea is that different users have different needs. Bridge doesn't work for me with my personal photography business, I use Lightroom Classic (and wish I still could use Aperture.)

Photoshop should work correctly regardless of whether Bridge is used or not.

Hello blindOD45,

the entire post is full of the same question and the same answers. Here it is again:

gude file do NOT appear when you

a) launch photoshop first/ is running already

b) open a file from bridge, which is the usual and smart way when editing in photoshop /  other Adobe applications

gude files ONLY appear when opening from Windows Explorer and photoshop is NOT running.

Yes - it is a nuicense and should be fixed asap, but is not existing at all when doing all your file sorting, picking, opening from Bridge. Why wouldn't one NOT start everything from Bridge where you can see your PS thumbnails and pre-views with all meta data in personallized layouts.

Cheers

You are absolutely correct about Bridge [abuse removed by moderator]

Just recently, gude logs (in the form of notepad txt documents, .log) are being created when I double click to open any of my PSD files. They are created in the same folder as the PSD file, and I have no idea what they mean. All the logs are the same.

Could someone please tell me what these logs mean? Each one just has the day's date in the title.

I am using the latest version of Photoshop through Creative Cloud, and the most up to date version of Windows 10. I have not changed anything that I think would have caused this. I use Photoshop on my main computer, and a Surface Tablet, but not at the same time. This issue is not showing on the tablet.

Yes - that's the answer. Just start Photoshop first ... or, which is the right thing anyways ... do everything from Bridge or Lightroom. Like this the issue is basically nonexistent. I do basically everything from Bridge, the ultimate organzing tool, even non-photoshop work.

I just started getting this bug today.  100% fresh install of all Adobe software and Photoshop trying to fix a different bug.(Clicking the magic wand tool shuts off my computer.  I want to see the result of that investigation!)

yes Adobe is working on a fix. The workaround is to not launch Photoshop by double-clicking files. Either launch Photoshop first or send files from Bridge/Lightroom.

Greetings!

About 2 weeks or so ago, I started noticing that Photoshop is creating .log files such as these :

I inspected the documents, and they all seem to be "Error" logs. However, I know very little about this so I might be mistaken. I figured this was probably a bug in a previous update and a patch would come to fix this, but recent updates haven't changed anything. 

Is anyone familiar with this issue? Thanks!

It is like photoshop takes a poop anywhere you open a file.
I feel like a dog owner, cleaning up poop all the time. Can you not fix this? Can you confirm reproducability?
