I am seeing a potentially serious file corruption problem. Several of my files with the .psd extension have lost that association and cannot be opened anywhere. The Photoshop icon (the feather) is changed to the MS flag.
Now curiously, every file that has changed has a copy. In some instances, this file is flattened so I cannot go back to redo things (that’s why it’s a copy).
The most current event is to a file created yesterday to investigate a sharpening plug-in (Focus Magic), but other files that have been corrupted don’t use that plug-in.
I also installed a patch that allows psd files to create thumbnails in Windows Explorer. It installs some registry items and a psicon.dll in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell
What I don’t know is when all this started, because the corrupted files don’t show up in the Browser, and unless I remember the file as actually existing, I may not know something happend to it.
Any clues? I have already set the psicon.dll to old, but have not cleaned the registry items. Also, is there any way to recover these files? Trying to append the .psd to the file does not work.
