Does anyone know how to tweak ST2 / SideBarEnhancements (or some other setting) to get .psd files to open in Photoshop CS5.1 ?

First, you need to enable viewing of .psd files in the sidebar, as they're hidden by default. Add the following line to your user preferences (Preferences -> Settings - User):

"file_exclude_patterns": ["*.pyc", "*.pyo", "*.exe", "*.dll", "*.obj","*.o", "*.a", "*.lib", "*.so", "*.dylib", "*.ncb", "*.sdf", "*.suo", "*.idb", ".DS_Store", "*.class", "*.psd", "*.db"],

Next, right-click on a .psd file in the sidebar and select Open With -> Edit Applications. If you're on OS X, edit "application" to point to the app name, not the full path. If you're on Windows, put in the full path to the Photoshop .exe file, using forward slashes / as path delimiters (for example, C:/Program Files/Adobe/CS5.1/PhotoShop CS5.1/photoshop.exe, or whatever it is on your system). You can also edit the "caption" field to make it more descriptive if you want.

Save the file, and you should now be able to right-click .psd, .png, .jpg, and .jpeg files and select Open With -> Photoshop.

Good luck!

  • Thanks @MattDMo ... I'll give `C:/Program Files/Adobe/CS5.1/PhotoShop CS5.1/photoshop.exe` a try. – H. Ferrence Dec 04 '13 at 15:51
  • Awesome, awesome, awesome ... I had been putting off asking about this for a long time. Glad I finally did. And, I actually learned something useful in the process that will help me launch other WinXP apps going forward. `C:/Program Files/Adobe/CS5.1/PhotoShop CS5.1/photoshop.exe` was the solutuon! Thanks @MattDMo – H. Ferrence Dec 04 '13 at 15:55
  • you seem to be an ST2 specialist @MattDMo. If you get a moment can you peek at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20380253/how-to-integrate-putty-into-sublime-text-2 ? Thanks. – H. Ferrence Dec 04 '13 at 16:42
