Mac user here. I never keep any graphics apps in the Apple supplied “Applications” folder. I always keep my apps on a second partition. Other apps have the problem of paths as well. So I create an Alias (applespeak for shortcut) to the app, in the Applications folder and all is well.
Maybe this will work?
Curious. 
@Acmepixel, that is a great idea!! I have no trouble with ZappLink but there are a lot of donkey-made programs who do not understand a partition. Thanks 
Thanks, thanks, thanks and thanks!!!
Just installed, I cannot wait to work whith it!!!
Had a little accident while using zb and zapplink but not one to waste a cool accident I kept going cuz I kinda liked how it looked. This is a combination of ps and baking mats in zbrush.
Sorry for the horrid jpg crunch.

This Rocks!!!
Thank you for your kind feedback:)
Since some Mac users are experiencing difficulties with the .psd file-type association, I will update and upload a new version of the ZPlugin which will allow Mac users to select the external image-editing application without using the OS file-type association.
When the updated plugin is ready, it will be posted in the first post of this thread.

Super cool!
Fired up Photoshop 7.0 smooth as silk. I changed my .psd association to Corel Photopaint and it worked like a charm. (Although Photoshop is the best ZBush marriage).
Thanks Pixologic.
Thank you. I will be using Zbrush more often now.
Hi Pix,
Having the option to choose the app instead of having to use a file association might be a nice option in the PC version, too? Especially since many PC users already use slide-viewer software like ACDSee, which normally will have the .psd option assigned to it.
Just a thought, since Zapp is already working great on the PC.

I’ve been waiting for this for 5 years, so I can use painter’s amazing brushes.
For Mac OSX users: I’m using 10.4.2 the ZB app is in the normal app folder. I selected a psd file and changed “open with” then, don’t forget to press the “open all documents like this” button.
Works fine, However I’m having one problem that is not covered in the Manual.
I drop an object export to Painter, paint it, bring it in, pick it up, everything is fine. Then I turn it over to do the back, drop it and press zlink again, but instead of opening the texture so I see the back, it opens it so I see what I have already painted.
What am I doing wrong?
I have tried this but still no joy. I’ve also tried setting a particular psd file to open in Photoshop 7, cs2 and Painter Classic. I’ve also tried having those apps open before Zapplinking but so far everything results in the same error.
Thanks

Ofer, Still no luck getting Zbrush to Launch painter,ZAPPLINK will launch Photoshop no matter what. Even if the PSD is associated with Painter. I can even run the experiement outside of Zbrush and fire up a PSD it opens in painter.
I’ve uninstalled Photoshop and it doesn’t want to see painter at all. My suggestion is a simple option to tell Zapplink what program to run. Perhaps I want to run photoshop and or painter?
I have waited for a tool like this for along time. It works beautifully. Photoshop: 7, CS, and CS2 no problems. Tested it on Painter 7-9 no problems, you just need to set the correct option in painter, ie. not save with an alpha channel or in CMYK format. You also have to browse down to the Zapp-link folder to save the .PSD file. Saving it anywhere else doesn’t seem to update the Zbrush version.
This truly is a powerful tool, I may never have to manually UV map again! :lol:
Thanks so much for all the hard work!
Mac OSX guys, who are having a problem.
Try this,
Create a new user with admin privilleges. A nice virgin account. You should have one set up anyway for troubleshooting.
Make sure ZB is in the normal app folder, (I don’t know if this matters or not). Then don’t forget to remove the ZappLinkData and ZappLink.zsc files from the ZappLink folder, which you can chuck away after you remove the pdf, and make sure they are in the Zplug folder.
Then select a .psd file (you might have to make one first) and get info then use the “open with” option and then “change all”
Then see how it works in the new account. If it works OK then you know the problem is within your home folder. Maybe a corrupted pref file or even a corrupted cache file.
If it doesn’t work then you know the problem is deeper. Maybe it’s a problem that OnyX can fix, you can try it for free.
Pixolator, will the updated version fix the problems in programs such as PhotoImpact?
After you save the image in Painter, do you close the window? I was having a similar problem and that seemed to fix it.
(sorry if this post gets messed up, it is my first one)
Works here with PhotoImpact 10 like a charm.
