P: Photoshop creates a gude log while working with files

Is it fixed yet?

This only started happening from one of the most recent updates from creative Cloud to Photoshop (I'm on v 24.1.1). Highly annoying. I'm on Windows 11 and if I double click a Photoshop file then these gude log files are created in the same folder. If I right click the Photoshop file and then Open With > Photoshop, then no gude files are created.

So for now the workaround is to right click and open with, but this is also highly annoying as you can imagine.

I saw that this was posted about in the Illustrator section as they have the same issue.

The log file contains the following type of info:

23:23:27:208 [ALWAYS]	GUDE Logging Started
23:23:27:208 [INFO]	SqliteResumeCache::SqliteResumeCache basedirectory is null/empty

When will this get fixed?!

When there is a fix, Adobe staff will announce it in this thread and it will be marked correct. In the interim, use one of the workarounds that have been mentioned.

Hi.  Do you know if this issue has been addressed in the new release 24.2 ?

Windows 10 Pro 
22H2 
Build 19045.2486
Photoshop 24.1.1

If I double click on a file (.psd .tga etc.) to launch photoshop, then a guide-date.log file is created (e.g. gude-2023-02-08.log) in the same fodler as the file I am opening.

This does not happen if photoshop is already open.

How much longer do we have to deal with this issue? 😞

Please tell the IT team just comment out the gude-yyyy-mm-dd.log creation line in the code. It is unacceptable for a production version to spam the user directory with log files... These files cannot be deleted unless PS is closed.

This gude log problem seems to pop up often when there is a new version release.  It would be nice if the development team automatically checked for this on new releases.

Erst seit einiger Zeit legt Photoshop beim Doppelklick auf eine Datei automatisch ein log-Datei an.

Völlig unnötig für mich und m.E. nur geeignet, die Festplatte mit Müll zu belasten.

Dateiname beispielsweise gude-2023-02-04.log

Ich habe keine Möglichkeit gefunden, das abzustellen.

Vielleicht finde ich ja hier Hilfe.

Seltsamerweise wird diese log-Datei nicht angelegt,  wenn man mit rechte Maustaste>öffnen mit arbeitet, was aber lästiger ist als Dopplelklick.

Photoshop started to deposit error logs with names starting with "GUDE" on my Windows 10 system after recently upgrading to to Photoshop 24.1.1.   It happens if Photoshop is not open and I double click on an image but NOT if I open Photoshop first and then open the file from the Photoshop File menu OR Idouble click on the file.
