ADOBE: FOR GOD'S SAKE WILL YOU TRANSFER CUSTOM SETTINGS AFTER AN UPDATE ALREADY
ADOBE IT IS 2024.
FOR GOD'S SAKE -- AND THIS IS ALL CAPS BECAUSE I'M YELLING -- ADD THE FOLLOWING CODE TO ALL ILLUSTRATOR UPDATES:
Copy <Old Custom Workspace AND Keyboard Settings> to <New Version>
Okay? It can't be that friggin' complicated. I'm trying to write a PowerShell VBA to do it, and I'm not a coder.
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING TO MANUALLY GO IN AND TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHERE ALL MY CUSTOM SETTINGS ARE LOCATED AND THEN MANUALLY COPYING THEM TO THE UPDATED FOLDER.
This might be too much for UX, but golly gee gosheroonies, why don't you create a folder called "Workspaces (Modified)" and have ALL custom settings stored in it, Workspaces, Keyboards, Menus, Toolbars.
Oh wait, there IS such a folder, but custom settings are stored in there, in no subfolder at all, in various other subfolders.
How about being consistent ? Even better, how about putting custom settings in a folder with the same name in the same location under ALL the Creative Cloud apps???????

I have a few custom keyboard shortcuts that I have to recreate each time you update the App. Please have it at least copy over my custom shortcuts or see what was active prior to update and bring it over. Irritating!
