A quick Google reveals this to be one very unpopular component to an otherwise much appreciated program.
I guess you are supposed to right-click on the Adobe Photo Downloader icon in the Taskbar and select either "disable" or "exit" from its menu. Doesn't that work? >To clarify, we are talking about Adobe's Photoshop Album Starter Edition >3.2. I never said the data was erased, only that it doesn't allow it to >be seen. Adobe installs its application "apdproxy" in startup for its >Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2. This startup application, while >enabling easy access to the Photoshop 3.2, also only allows an inserted >flash drive's photo content to be seen. When inserting a flash drive, >Photoshop 3.2 takes over, opens it, and displays any images contained in >the flashdrive, including any graphics contained in a document but not >the document itself. On one network system, the flashdrive would not >even show up in Windows Explorer as long as Photoshop 3.2 had control of >it. The only way to see the drive and flashdrive's original data, is to >disable Photoshop's "apdproxy" in startup, reboot and start over. >Without "apdproxy" running, the drive as well as the data can be seen >and accessed normally. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
