On Windows 10 I can do "Edit Original" for Adobe Illustrator files fine, but when trying for a puppet backed by a PSD file it does not work. It does not load up Photoshop.
Further, when I double click on a PSD file in Windows Explorer it comes up with a list of choices to use. I pick Photoshop and click the "remember this choice" checkbox, but it still asks every time I double click the PSD file. I am guessing this is why "Edit Original" is not working. (Clicking on .ai files (Adobe Illustrator) works perfectly - its just PSD files.)
Going via Control Panel, you can work your way through to binding file types based on extensions to default programs. But even after rebooting the computer, I cannot set the app to Adobe Photoshop for .psd files. I click on the "+ Choose a default" then click Photoshop from the popup list, but it remains on "+" (does not change to Photoshop). (I can change the default to PictureViewer - just not Photoshop.) Any ideas?

Okay... so I think an just solved the problem. Not sure why, but...
I checked the launcher app, and apparently my preferences had set the default install location to C:\Adobe. So I changed this to C:\Program Files\Adobe, then uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop. Photoshop is now installed under C:\Program Files\Adobe. Now I can set the file extension, and now Edit Original works.
So it appears Windows only wants to set file extension defaults for programs installed under Program Files... or some
