Full Version: New drive in library after export to CS3

I have a strange and annoying behavior in LR 2.

I am using it on Windows 32 bits (Windows XP Pro SP2).

I am exporting a picture to Photoshop CS3. I am editing it and then save it. A new "xxx-Edit.psd" file is created.

In LR 1, the edited file was added to the same physical folder and logical (in the Library).

On LR2, the edited file is added to the same physical folder, BUT LR 2 is creating a new drive in the library with the same letter drive and add to this drive the source logical folder...

Here is what is created :

CODE
E
|- 2008
|     |- 2008-08-13 --> Source of the edition
| ...
E --> New drive created after edition
|- 2008-08-13 --> New folder created with the edited picture.


Is it a bug or a "behavior" ? How could I change it to have the edited picture to the original logical folder ?

Thanks !

I have reinstalled from scratch Photoshop and Lightroom and the problem seems to be fixed.

Argh !!!!!!

I have updated Photoshop CS3 with Adobe Auto Update and the behavior is wrong again !!!

- The export dialog does not appears and PS is directly opening the NEF file (I cannot select open a copy or original)
- The drive is created after the file is saved in photoshop.

It looks like a bug that is REALLY annoying when you are editing a lot of pictures in Photoshop CS3 from LR 2 !!

Has anybody else the same problem ?

Thanks

Same problem here.

Photoshop CS3 with Adobe Auto Update, Lightroom 2, running on Windows XP.

No options when "Edit in Photoshop" is selected and the PSD file comes back in another drive. I then have to synchronize the original folder to include the PSD file and delete the folder Lightroom added.

Very annoying and definitely a bug. Hope this gets fixed soon.

I have searched on Lightroom forum on Adobe site. It is a known bug that will be fixed in the next release.

There is a work around: you have to define Photoshop CS3 as an external application and everything will work as previously.
