Hi,
SwitchBoard 2.0 is a server process that facilitates communication between Bridge CS5 and the MiniBridge panel in Photoshop CS5 or InDesign CS5. The (Not Responding) indication in Activity Monitor happens because the server process is dormant until a SwitchBoard client (MiniBridge (Ps/ID), or Br ) asks for something. The process will only launch when the MiniBridge panel is opened and browsed to a location, or when Bridge launches. It should also shut down/time out when all the clients have quit.
Does that answer your question?
regards,
steve
Ps. The Readme that's installed next to the Swichboard application is bogus for this version. Please ignore it.
