Photoshop CS6 icons sometimes do not appear on Macintosh

[clinton_dyches]

Yes, this is a question.

I've been using my trial of Photoshop CS6 Extended for 10 days now. I have run into a peculiar problem - when saving a file Photoshop does not display any sort of icon. No thumbnail, no generic, nothing. It's not a huge problem, I can always open the image but not by double-clicking on the icon: it's just not there.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there is a resolution to it - or is it just a bug? I didn't have this problem with the beta version and I've repaired all permissions on my hard drive to see if that was the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Clinton

Both clinton_dyches and yours truly are not on 14.x at all.

I edited my post literally within one second of posting it by deleting the one line you quote..

My momentary confusion stemmed from your mention of CS6 and 13.x.  My bad.

As I said I caught my error and deleted in a nanosecond.

Didn't know it was out.  I'll probably update tomorrow.  Maybe it will fix some of the other CS6 quirks I'm experiencing.

13.0.5 has been out for a while, since well before CC was released.  It did fix a few quirks for me, but I can't remember exactly which ones.

FWIW I am running 13.0.5 since it was released and do not have an icon problem, not in the Finder and not in the Open dialog box in Ps.

I wonder if 13.0.5 is a CC thing because I don't see it available to me.

Nor is it available for direct download:

I've gone back to working in CS5 because of the broken finder icons amongst other things.

No way, I'd never, ever go any where the Cash Cow sbscription model no matter what.

I have a non-subscription, perpetual license 13.0.5 on my Macs:

" perpetual license "

me too, but how long will it run? OS compatibility will be our downfall.

Suits me fine. I'm already running the last OS X that my machines will run, and I fully expect them to outlive me.

Besides. I'm already very enthusiastic about Photoline, a very worthy alternative to Photoshop for my purposes.

I have upgraded to Photoshop CC and MAC OSX 10.9 Maverick. This problem still persiststs but in a different way. When I open a PS file that has been saved on another MAC on PS 5.5, the small icon in the header bar is there. When I save a file in PS CC the icon is never there. There's just an icon of a generic jpg. It's better than before becuase now I can at least use the functionality of that little icon for draggin the file into other Adobe programs or my RIP for printing without hunting for it in finder, but it's still broken in that it doesn't provide a true preview. Just an FYI. I prefer it being broken the way it is. It's not pretty but the functionality I need is back.

I faced a similar issue with Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator icons within CC 2015. It seems to be an obscure OS problem. I solved it doing an icon cache reset. To do that I used cDock (Extra settings option, Reset icon cache), but it would certainly be possible with other tools or directly with a terminal operation.

I have been using Photoshop since version 2.0 and I never had this problem. It suddenly started happening two days ago. No change in my OS, with Photoshop, or with anything else on my machine. Still running CS6 and 10.8.5. When I use Get Info, there is no field for the thumbnail.

I have noticed that if I drag the file from the desktop to a folder the icon suddenly appears. Same issue and unexpected "fix" with both pngs and jpegs.
