Question

Illustrator 24 - File->Save attempts to open a third party app (LayOut)

Adobe Illustrator 24

(all recent, fresh installs)

 

File->Save from Illustrator 24 initiates the system dialog "Attempting to open LayOut.app which has been downloaded from the Internet <Open> <Cancel>" on top of the Finder dialog.

 

Illustrator 23 doesn't have the same behavior. I've never opened LayOut on this computer (although it's installed as part of Sketchup which I have opened). Cancel 2x and I can save via Finder.

 

I renamed LayOut.app just for fun in the Sketchup directory and sure enough it's trying to open exactly that app.

 

Cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on, or could be. All fresh, not migrated installs. Not seeing it in other applications that bring up the Finder browser.

 

Thoughts or clues on what could be happening?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Maybe that app is set up to open a couple of file formats that it should not open. Such as PDF, EPS or AI (or whatever it is you are saving)
