Double Clicking File in Bridge Fails To Open in Photoshop CC

[pppeepo]

Hi

Everything was working absolutely fine, but for some reason (it could be antivirus software) now double clicking on any file in Bridge gives focus to the Photoshop window, but the file is not opened.

I've checked Bridge > Preferences > File Associations and everything looks correct. Resetting to defaults does not make any difference.

I'm working with Bridge CC 2018 / Photoshop CC 2018 on a retina Mac running High Sierra 10.13.3 using a Wacom pen.

Has anyone got a solution please?

Many thanks

Ok, so it seems that dragging a JPG file into Photoshop from Bridge gave a pop up error message about the file being locked or having incorrect permissions.

I checked by home directory, and everything has the correct permission (my suer has Read and Write).

I then found this:

And ran this command from the terminal and then did a restart:

diskutil resetUserPermissions / `id -u`

which ran successfully, and after a restart, it all works fine.

Hope others may find this useful!
