P: Photoshop creates a gude log while working with files

You will be happy to learn,

1. Your reason you say you won't use Bridge is a myth: there is no requirement for what you call, "a system scan for listable files in Bridge" in order to use Bridge. You can just add Bridge to your "open with" options.

2. You don't have to use Bridge at all (though it is a fantastic software and is exactly what the name implies, the bridge between file collections and Photoshop) you can just use "open with" Photoshop.

3. Or you can open Photoshop first.

There you go, no need to thank me have a productive time creating in Photoshop!

Hello everyone who deals with the automatic creation of Photoshop 24.1 Gude log files.
A visible log file is pathetic for a company like Adobe (not that I would prefer hidden log files).
No, I don't want to use 'Bridge' because I don't want a system scan for listable files in Bridge.

Exciting I find the reaction of Adobe - just not a useful response. Is there maybe an admin in this forum? Maybe someone who could provide us with patches?! Users should go around in circles here until there is an update. What are the connections between file control and the manufacturers of the operating systems? This is not a freeware Program - we rented it for money.
Maybe we wait until version PS 25?. I'm opting out now and will wait for Adobe's kindness, unfortunately I have no other choice.
Thank you for some good tips from members. Beautiful celebration in anticipation of the year 2023.

Oui je penses comme toi !

I had no way of knowing. I've not experienced this until the recent update and that's why I thought it was a re-occurrence of that bug. This has not happened to me in the previous versions and I would know, as it something I always do by double clicking a PSD file if PS is closed. Interesting that this has only happened to me in this v of PS. Something for the engineers to think about. Windows OS, latest build.

I started a new thread since this one is cluttered, but it seems someone merged my new thread with this.

Please stop it. Your solution is no solution, but only a workaround. You obviously have no idea about developing applications. This is a bug and has to be fixed.

But thank you for your good willing.

Are you trying to actually get work done in Photoshop? Of just interesting in commenting on the oddball creation of gude*.log and when Adobe will patch the software?

If you are trying to get work done, just improve your Photoshop use practices by opening files either with Bridge (the best practice) or by right clicking, then "open with Photoshop."

No need to thank me! And for the record you can, if you have put a shortcut to notepad.exe in the "send to" folder, right click a *.log file and send to notepad to see in this case it's ... guess what? That's right, a log file.

@RosaPerry the issue was reported as been fixed, but the update didn't actually fix it, it's been ongoing since then

Thank you. I didn't know that this is a new bug and was already solved.
