USING: Win 10 and latest Adobe updates
In general usage and to take a quick look at .jpgs, etc., directly from a File Explorer folder, I have for the longest time kept my .jpg and .png default file types set to open in a simple photo app. I don't always want to open Photoshop. Photoshop sucks up a lot of RAM, so I just don't really like to open it until I need it.
But even with this setting in place, I've always had Photoshop as an "edit with" option when I need to edit a link from within InDesign -- a time when I DO want to open Photoshop.
However, recently, the Photoshop "edit with" option is not appearing in my InDesign "edit with" choices in the Links palette. I imagine (assume, expect) that it might "come back" if I switch my default .jpg/etc. app to Photoshop. But I'd really rather not do that as I don't want to open PShop in general every time I need to get a quick look at the random .jpg.
I know I can access such files via Bridge without opening PShop, but that is an inconvenient substitute for a quick peek as one must open the program and navigate to the file folder and then, depending on the number of files, search among what is there. Not what I need.
I would very much like to have PShop back again as an option in the "edit with" list in InDesign when I need it to be there. Does anyone have any ideas about this situation -- why that option went away? How to get it back without having to make PShop my only default for bitmap images? Thanks in advance.
