P: Please allow us to edit the primary external editor listing

[jeffreym]

Since CC allows us to update and backtrack and maintain multiple versions of software, as well as test betas, I would greatly appreciate the ability in the Lightroom CC settings/preferences to set the primary default external editor to the version I want without have it create presets for additional editors. It would make things simpler and as it is now, beta products take precedence over the stable, so if I install a beta of Photoshop, then Lightroom automatically make the beta the default external editor. I'd rather it not and having the ability to set the primary external editor, like we used to in earlier versions of Lightroom, is a benefit for the customers. Thanks for considering.

Greetings all,

Updates for Adobe Photography products have been released.  The April 2023 updates have implemented this feature request. Please see the product for more details.

If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by hitting [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[ R ].

Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

Thank you for your patience.

Wow, that was fast! lol. Thanks and I love the new Ai Denoise feature. Works amazing well, albeit not a speed demon, but at least it is batchable and the maskng features work extremely well for portraiture!

Now that I've had a chance to test out the feature again, I would like to note for future improvements, that currently, the pop up menu will automatically list every Photoshop CC version installed. However on workstations that maintain a working duplicate backup drive for safety, the menu popup will see and list the extra copies of those Photoshop installations, but with no way to recognize which is which. IT would seem appropriate, as the CC app in the account preferences for apps allows for a location to be established for downloading apps and updating them, for the popup to use that information to know which copies are being the primary copies based on the installation directory specified.
