It doesn’t seem like I’m the only one who has had problems opening multiple files in Adobe Photoshop CS4 while running Snow Leopard.
In Photoshop CS3, I was able to drag multiple items into the Photoshop icon in my dock and have them all open up at once. I could do this with regular Finder items and items from within Bridge and other Adobe apps as well. But in Photoshop CS4, this functionality is sporadic at best. If I’m dragging 5 items, let’s say, sometimes Photoshop will only open 1 and other times it’ll open 3 or something. The number seems to be random.
I don’t really know if it’s a problem with Adobe or with Snow Leopard since I never ran CS4 under Leopard to see if that functionality worked there. But for now, it’s a pretty major inconvenience that I hope Apple or Adobe get fixed soon.

I’ve reviewed several titles from Mark Batty Publishers but none have so far been as visually stimulating as Glitch: Designing Imperfection. The book, by Iman Moradi, Ant Scott, Joe Gilmore & Christopher Murphy, takes a look at accidental and purposeful glitches in digital media (notably through digital artifacts) and talks about how they serve a good purpose in our everyday lives by being a wonderful source of inspiration and self-improvement.
The book is page after page of glitches (about 200 of them, in fact) in glorious color separated by some fabulous interviews with artists who specialize in capturing and creating glitches.
Glitch: Designing Imperfection
comes out later this month and you can pre-order the title now at Amazon.com for just $21.75! Check out the quick sneak peek below and pre-order your copy today!
