64-bit Adobe osax files

I've continued to get some reports of PortAuthority crashing on Snow Leopard. As I discussed in a previous blog entry, these crashes are often the result of AppleScript conflicts caused by 32-bit "osax" files. The most common offenders that I've run across are osax files installed by Adobe in support of its Photoshop program. Not surprising, given that Adobe is the heavyweight vendor of graphic and publishing software for the Mac.

I was pleasantly surprised today to hear from a user that Adobe has quietly updated some of its osax files to support 64-bit. You can see the details and file downloads in this technical note. So, if you're having problems with PortAuthority or any of my other programs and traced the problem to conflicts with Adobe osax files, try updating the offending files and see if that solves the problem.
