Photoshop throws an error: Unable to complete request, file not found?

Question

Adobe Photoshop

Answer 1

I can assume that the file is linked and the link is lost, so Photoshop does not see this file.

Answer 2

Under what conditions does the error appear?

Answer 3

Good afternoon, I have the same error.
I updated photoshop 4 and after that I can not open any jpeg file, current psd
what could be the reason?
Thank you

Answer 4

There are filters in the layers, the default is "View".
1. Select "Smart Object"
2. Filter by missing linked smart objects (question mark icon).
Then a list of smart objects will appear, the sources of which are not clear where. If they are removed, the problem will be solved.
PS My situation: I inserted icons from illustrator as smart objects, but did not save the file in illustrator.
