Problems with Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Snow Leopard

October 17, 2009 @ 11:59 am

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.

WOW! I was actually just talking about this with friends the other day! This is proof that not everything that comes out of my mouth is a lie!

The High Line to open to the public on June 9

After decades of abandonment and years of development, The High Line is finally going to open its first section to the public on June 9, 2009. You can enter the elevated park at Gansevoort, 14th, 16th, 18th, and 20th Streets.

The rest of The High Line from 20th Street to 30th Street is still under construction, but I bet there will be a way to get there once the first section gets open.

Coney Island’s Cyclone rollercoaster opens today despite the fact that the adjacent Astroland amusement park is now all packed up.

I can’t say there’s much else to do in Coney Island except maybe eat at Nathan’s and visit the Aquarium nearby. But hey, Cyclone is worth the visit I suppose.

How to make your subscribed videos in YouTube open in new tabs

February 13, 2009 @ 1:13 pm

I know that many of you go to YouTube on a daily basis, and if you actually make use of the ’subscribe’ button on the site, you’ll know that YouTube has a really stupid way of displaying the videos in the Subscriptions section (link only works if you’re logged in to YouTube).

The problem, for those who don’t know, is that YouTube makes every single link to the videos a special javascript link which ultimately prevents you from opening multiple videos at once in browser tabs. If you try to open a video in a new tab from the subscriptions area, you’re simply brought to the subscriptions page yet again in the new tab.

To fix this really stupid problem, just install this Greasemonkey script and start opening those links in new tabs. Of course, to use that script, you have to have the Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox installed first.
