P: Photoshop creates a gude log while working with files

The noted above workaround isn't very practical..

Once you've told Windows to always open that type of image file with the custom command, you can open images in the usual way (not using "Open with"...). Just in case that wasn't clear.

It would be practical not to be bothered by log files I do not need and I do not understand. As a user, an end customer, I have to work with the software, I do not have the need to analyze its functionality. NO LOG FILES PLEASE. With sugar on top!

Same.. Updated to 24.1 still getting these random log files.. I see that its complaining about sqlite.. so perhaps disabling logging in the production versions.. 

The noted above workaround isn't very practical.. 

Hi Mohit,

This has not resolved the problem for me.  I still end up with a file in the directory I'm working in called gude-2022-12-14.log.  I'm running ver 24.1.0 on a Windows 10 machine.  This is the contents of the file referenced above:

08:21:36:656 [ALWAYS] GUDE Logging Started

Great idea!

But I also have an idea, directed to Adobe: STOP CREATING THIS FILE!

Life could be that simple. Nobody needs it, drop the code that creates it.

Until Adobe figure out how to turn off the log, or put it somewhere more convenient, here's a workaround:

• Create a new file in a text editor with the filename "Photoshop Fixed.cmd" containing only this line:

START "" /D "%TMP%" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2023\Photoshop.exe" %1

You may need to change the path to the Photoshop.exe as applicable on your system for your version.

• Open the context menu on any image file and choose "Open With..." (choose another program)
• Browse to the file you have just created and choose this

It's a cludge, but it works. You need to do this on each type of image (JPG, PNG, TIF, etc.). To revert, choose  "Adobe Photoshop" again in the "Open With..." menu and optionally delete the file you created.

The log will still be created, but it will be in your temporary directory and there will only be one created per day, instead of one every day in every directory you open an image in.

Issue still exists for me in 24.1 as it did with 24.0.1.

This time the log contains even more information though, so I suspect perhaps they've just increased the verbosity of the logging to see what's going on?

09:18:54:858 [ALWAYS]	GUDE Logging Started

Clearly it hasn't been resolved.

I've only started getting the GUDE file since upgrading to 24.1

To make sure I wasn't going mad, I uninstalled and then installed rhe previous version 24.0.1 and the GUDE file just doesn't appear. So, clearly something isn't right in Version 24.1

@Mohit Goyal Still not fixed in 24.1

Just installed 24.1. Double clicked on a .psd file. gude.log immediately appeared.

It has NOT been fixed!!!
