Unable to add Illustrator.app in login-items on MacOS Ventura

[100pk]

Curious if anyone has this too. Illustrator and Photoshop refuse to be added in the login items to let them start at startup... The only app that is easily added is Adobe Indesign, Apple's own apps and some third party apps.

MacBook Pro M1 MacOS 13.2 (but same behaviour in 13 and 13.1)

Hi @100pk have to be honest I haven't added these to my login items due to the issues I have in general with Ventura. I find it's best to let the system startup first then start my applications. We've discovered some lags with network connections from the OS/Finder that cause issues with auto starting Adobe applications - including the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

I'm having the same problem. It will only allow me to add one Adobe program at a time. If I delete InDesign from the list, I can add Photoshop, but never both at the same time.

Since Adobe Creative Cloud and other Items are running when macOS starts, it is best to delay the startup of applications for a while.
So please create a startup application like the following in Automator.

Please adjust the Pause time appropriately.
Save this in a suitable location and register it in Login Items.
