Adios Photoshop CS5? - Was working OK in Mojave but now is crashing. - steve... - 01-23-2019
Started when I tried to open an existing file and now it's crashing as soon as I launch it.
I uninstalled/reinstalled, installed the older Java version, checked Photoshop CS5 in System Preferences> allow these apps to control your conmputer and deleted this plugin: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5/Plug-ins/Extensions/ScriptingSupport.plugin - I had done all this previously.
Is it time to say Adios? I have Photoshop Elements but there are a few things (like the pen tool/paths) that I occasionally like to use.

Were you able to open other files? Was it just one problem file that killed it?

Have you tried it from a different user account? Could it be a corrupt preference issue?

Tried clearing out the ~/Library/Caches and ~/Library/Saved Application State folders and rebooting?

It happened with all Photoshop files that I tried.

Crashess with a different user also.

Is it safe to delete everything in ~/Library/Caches? There's nothing there that seems related to Adobe/photoshop.
I could not find /Library/Saved Application State folders.
Thanks for your suggestions. Still no luck. It still crashes right after the splash screen.

The tilde in the path represents your home folder.
Hold down the option key when you click on the Go menu in the Finder and select "Library" from the menu. (It only appears in the menu while the Option key is held down.) You'll find both the correct "Caches" folder and the "Saved Application State" folder in that Library folder, and it's perfectly safe to trash the contents of both of those folders so long as you reboot shortly thereafter.

Thanks for your help Sarcany.
I deleted the contents of those folders and rebooted but it still crashes right at the splash screen.
When this all started, it would open but then crash when I tried to open a PS file. Now it won't even open.

Stickin' w/ CS2 in Snow Leopard and not having any issues, but that may not be an option...
Always have a few older setups available to avoid first world problems, so that the problems can be dealt with more conveniently and not interfere too badly w/ workflow.

I've been using Pshop CS5 in mojave but I am only editing pics or creating new images - not double-clicking on a pshop file. I was about to test it out for you, but got cold feet...

Tried resetting prefs by holding Command+Shift+Option on launch?
