When I do a ‘save as’ in PSCS2 I want the image to go back into the same folder it was in originally. Instead, PS defaults to the ‘documents’ folder. Where can I change this behavior… I have looked all over preferences and I’m not finding the answer. All my other apps to these saves correctly.
I think I have trashed them, unless there is some arcane pref somewhere I have not discovered. I have trashed the usual suspects… it doesn’t help. Thanks though..
Mel, perhaps you can discover from the new user account which preference file is becoming corrupt. It probably has many fewer preference files to sift through.
I have remote access to one of the Macs having this problem, I’ll see what I can dig up.
45 minutes to do an Archive and install is a much better use of ones time than spending several hours looking at prefs trying to figure out which one maybe the culprit.
With about 10 minutes of effort I think I saved myself driving all around town to do Archive and Installs only to correct a corrupt preference file problem. Which wouldn’t have worked for some users since they are bound to Open Directory networks with server based home folders.
It seems to be the "com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist" file.
Well, deleting the Media Browser plist file did not do the trick… I found 2 of them.. one in a folder called safe preferences. Anyway… I can do the archive and Install… and hope that whatever problem there is is not carried over. I appreciate all the effort from the group, but I’ll give the archive and install route a try tonight.
I went ahead today and did the Archive and install which went smoothly, except now Photoshop does not work because it is missing files in the applications support folder. It sugests I reinstall Photoshop, which I can do but that will mean I have to reinstall all filters and actions. Is there anything in my previous system folder I can drag over to solve this, or do I have to start from scratch with photoshop…. what is it missing it needs, in other words?
Belay that message above. Solved the above problem by finding the scripting additions folder and moving it.. so photoshop now works fine… but i still have the same problem after the archive and install…. save as selects the documents folder, not the place or directroy the image came from. So I think I am back where I started…

Open your Previous System folder. Find "Adobe Unit Types". Copy it into: <Your current system Hard Drive>/Library/ScriptingAdditions/ Then reboot your Mac.
