Antisoda - You say, "A workaround only works for the people who are aware of it in the first place." I am happy to let you know this is not true. A work around works for anyone, anytime, even if they already have numerous log files all over numerous folders. Users need these things: 1. They need to be calmed about fears of virus, malware etc. it's not. It's a text file (and you can look at it by opening it notepad with no risk of harm to your PC if you are curious about it). 2. They need to be told how to remove all the files easily if they want them gone. To do this just search the drive once for gude*.log and delete them all at once. 3. They need a workflow to carry on using the software without generating more log files. I detailed three (3) methods in my post titled, "Solved! - Unwanted "gude.log" file creation issue in Photoshop - Solved!" 4. It is not true that, "not-that-advanced, regular users" need a "permanent solution," it's absolutely unnecessary. Making demands of Adobe in this forum is like hollering at a building. You can do it if you wish, but it's not worth the effort. 5. When you are driving and you come to a roadblock, you take another route, you don't sit and wait for the road to be opened. This is the same thing. Eventually Adobe will fix it. But even after Adobe fixes the issue; using Bridge to review & open and manage and batch process files will be the preferred way to work for serious users, artists, anyone with a lot of files with various types & attibutes. So it's not only a trivial issue, but with intelligent work methods any user, including new users, can prevent it from occurring.
