The problem (I think) is that Rev thinks that it "owns" the process, and therefore since you didn't quit it *from* Rev, it still thinks it's open. Try checking the "openProcesses' and see if you have a process listed there after you launch. If you do, you should 'kill' the process and see if it will work again. > Not a bug, but a "how to?" > 2) The documentation clearly states that if the application is already > open then "launch" will do nothing...

Sorry; I think you have to use AppleScript until this is resolved. > 3) this is totally obscure problem with Adobe products... anyone know > about this? > > Launch "somepath/some.jpg" with "/Applications/Adobe Photoshop > 7.0/Adobe Photoshop 7.0 > > will not work... and, what is even stranger, if you do > > answer file "Find your copy of Photoshop" > put it > > and locate the application, Rev returns: > > /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 7.0/Adobe Photoshop 7.0/ > > with a "/" at the end, even though it appears that you are pointing to > the Adobe photoshop file and not a folder?? No, that's not strange at all under OS X. Technically applications ARE folders (actually "packages"); if you control-click on them and choose "Show Package Contents" you can see what is inside - including the REAL application. You might try including the trailing "/" after the path name to the app and see if it launches properly.
