Question

Another tatty dialogue box . . .

There I was minding my own business composing a mail to a client and woo hoo, up pops another tatty Adobe CC dialogue box presumptuously assuming that it needed my attention first . . . crashed the finder and corrupted my mail. I'm not expecting a 'solution' I'm just having a rant.

And I want to start a campaign to persuade Adobe to rename Indesign back to Pagemaker as it seems to be slowly reverting to the crock of s***e. Anyone remember QXP?

News flash.  This warning message is  Apple's way of telling you that you have software on your machine that is not going to play nice with Catalina OS.   DO NOT upgrade to Catalina until you are fully committed to 64-bit apps.  And that includes add-ons as well as core applications.  See link below for more info.

Crashing your finder and the dialogue box are (probably) unrelated.

The warning is a completely nonsense message from Apple, not Adobe, warning you that a (probably) good working program will not work on future versions of the OS. Happens with all 32 bits programs. You should complain with Apple on this.
