Photoshop: Missing icons and previews in macintosh finder
The bad: I am having is when I save a CS6 .PSD, .TIF, .JPG, .ETC files, I get no icons or previews in finder...
The good: if I rename the file inside a search results window, then a preview & icon is genererated giving me a glimse of what the file contents are.
The bad: the new preview only shows up in the search results window, if I open the enclosing folder, the new preview is gone... where the renaming thing doesn't do anything with the preview or icon...
The sad face: Apple? Adobe? Anyone?
My first copy of PhotoShop was a beta of 1.0 that I got from Nikon way back in the "oh no you can't do that on a Mac" days and have been using Apple products before that... I have never seen such a blant UI issue that has gone on for so long without a fix. Shame, shame, shame...

But there is a known bug in MacOS that causes the Finder to fail to show icons for some folders, sometimes, for some users (it's not easy to reproduce, and Apple hasn't figured out the exact cause yet). Usually it can be cleared by removing OS caches using a utility like Onyx or Cocktail.

Here is what fixed the problem for me:
Go to Photoshop/Preferences/File Handling
Under "File Saving Options/Image Prefiews:"
Select: Always Save
Check ONLY on "Windows Thumbnail". Do NOT check "Icon".
The Adobe people may have unintentionally reversed the logic in their software.

Using Photoshop CC on OS 10.8.5
I use the icons generated on the files as folder icons.
