Lightroom Classic>Edit in PS: Long Delay+Erroneous Error Message opening Ps Beta 2024 25.0

I just recently updated Photoshop Beta to 2024 v25.0 on my Windows 11 machine.

 

Now when I try to open photos from LR 12.4 using the "edit in...", it hangs up for a time and then comes up saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop 2024 could not be launched."

 

When I hit "Ok" it then opens the file in Photoshop 2024. 

 

This happens with every file, even if Photoshop 2024 is already up and running at the time. 

 

This does not happen with 2023 v24.7.

Because I just had to keep going on this. I uninstalled both Lr and Ps. Rebooted. Istalled Lr. Rebooted. Installed Ps. Rebooted. Now it's back to normal.

Yes I was using Ps beta and that's when the problem started. Although I had bee running it for several weeks, this only cropped up today, I think this might have been the 1st time I ws trying to use it since the most recnt update, but don't quote me om that. I tried to open a file in Ps from Lr using CTL+E. Ps(beta) opened, but the file never did. Since I needed to get work done I started using the custom external editor option that was still pointed to Ps(non-beta).

Anyway, as I say, things seem to be back to the old status quo, and I'll just wait Until the new stuff shows up in a stable version.

Thanks

Of course this solution is overly complicated on the user end for something
that worked seamlessly last week.
Also, while it is Beta related, when I opt for it to open in regular
Photoshop, it stalls there too. Driving me nuts!

Oh geez, I just don't know, yes, this is Beta. But very much a "encouraged and promoted" beta. I hope Adobe resolves this quickly because to have its 2 flagship photo editing apps not seamlessly is a real issue....it overshadows all of the new features..

Since I posted the problem in my original thread, I had managed to get LrC to send file to PS23 again WITHOUT installing PS beta. But in the process of me deleting all of the associated director for all LrC, PS23, and PS beta. I think I spot the potential problem that caused the issue. A new shell directory was created for PS24 after the m2257 update, and LrC is trying to divert files to version PS24 thus broke the chain for the Edit In command.

After two days of investigation since the update on Friday, I had backed up my LrC directory, then completed uninstalled LrC, PS23 and PS betal and all of its associated folder in the install directory. Then install PS23 FIRST, and install LrC, and lastly restored my LrC directory from my backup. Things are working as it should and I will wait for the next build on PS beta before I reattempt the install.

For the past two or three days at least, Lightroom does not launch a photo in Photoshop until I request it to do so three or more times. It then gives me "Failure to Launch" messages, several in a row quickly, and when I press ok on each, the photo finally lauches in Photoshop. This was an instantaneous process last week and now it takes a maddenly long time. I am on Mac OS and everything is up-to-date.

Lr Classic no longer sees Ps. I have unistalled and reinstalled both Lr and Ps. No change. Help!

You can see in the image that the Ps version is grayed out. I can edit in Ps by using the Custom editor, but...

Windows 10     Ps 24.7     Lr 12.4

The only way I could fix it is my rolling back to update go to your beta releases, and go to previous version

I've uninstalled and reinstalled both LRC and PS Beta multiple times as well as installed previous versions and none of it has fixed the issue. I am still unable to right click, select "Edit in Photoshop 2024" and have the photo pulled into PS to edit. What else can I do or when can we expect this bug to be resolved?!?!!?

i won't go back to previous version of PS Beta because with the latest version, i've "supress tool" which is very usefull, and this tool doesn not work with previous version of PS Beta.
