Deleting Ps workspaces is hard to use

using Ps 27.9.1 on MacOS

Because there’s no ability to update the current workspace, I end up with a new workspace whenever I make a small adjustment. This leads to me needing to cull my workspaces to keep the list managable so it’s easier to find the ones that really matter.

Before I can delete a workspace, I need to look at it to make sure I want to delete it.

Problem is, I can’t delete the current workspace I’m looking at. So I’m left with having to either
a) remember the workspace name of the current workspace, switch to a different workspace, then delete the previous one I was just looking at

b) go through the workspaces and write down the one’s I want to delete, then select a workspace not on my delete list, then go back through my list and deleting the workspaces one at a time (since the delete dialog exits as soon as I delete a workspace).

I feel this process could be better a number of ways

  1. let me delete the currently selected workspace

  2. allow me to delete more than one workspace at a time

  3. prevent these issues from happening in the first place by allowing updating the current workspace as other applications do

    If it helps you out any a Workspace can be overwritten by using the same name in Window>Workspace>New Workspace.

    Thanks Jeff, I think that could help as a workaround. I had not discovered that yet. I would say there is an opportunity for Adobe to improve the user interaction in this scenario. A simple menu option “Update Current Workspace” would be idea.
