P: preset backup restore

What about DCP camera profiles, preferences, previews, cache files? 
No one here knows how much of a programming hurdle anything is within LR or ACR because no one here has the code base. 
More logical, probably how things may progress: upload this to Adobe's cloud. For backup and sync. 
As someone who has developed three software products, all Photoshop plug-ins, I can tell you that nothing is a hurdle if you have enough engineering time and thus money. Engineering is very expensive! 😞

I would think that when Lr does its backup of the catalog it would not be much of a programming hurdle to have it include a folder of the presets in the backup .zip file. 

If you cannot accept anyone less "fluent" in IT than yourself, you should be developing the product, not bashing those who have useful ideas

What you asked for largely already exists as explained by multiple people.

My suggestion is for all the users you suggest exist that haven't posted here, who don't know how to backup presets, RTFM. Such functionality exists. 

THAT ends my discussion.

Yes, I've heard that before. 

This was an idea for those less inclined to become IT pros than you or me. If you cannot accept anyone less "fluent" in IT than yourself, you should be developing the product, not bashing those who have useful ideas.

I had my own DAM system programmed for myself in 1996, it did include backup solutions as well as a lot more. 
When LR came along with the development module I switched that over for LR 1.2.

I am always willing to listen to ideas for improvement and don't bash anyone who is willing to promote an idea. I have never encountered this type of narrow-mindedness as in this post.

THAT ends my discussion.

No Henk. But I've been a beta since version 2.5 of Photoshop. And a user of PS since 1.07. An LR user before release.

Does this now end your discussion?

Lightroom is perfect as it is. No further ideas are required.

Are you working at Adobe, by any chance?

This ends my discussion of this idea, do with it whatever you want.

Ok but...

I already know how to find my stuff, and a lot more.

Great. I'm glad to hear that (not that I needed to after the first comment above). 😉
Your request actually does exist in ACR, with a Zip no less. 
Your request also exists for LR as Bob outlined. 

My "idea" was for people that do not know this. I am not interested in explaining workaround around a feature that should have been obvious since the introduction of presets.

My idea is to just tell people who didn't ask, how the product actually works. 

Asking today's computer users to be responsible is way too much to ask.

People who refuse to take responsibility, and absolutely no one here has done so, (one has suggested some do), deserve what they get by taking no responsibility. Some of us have seen how well that's worked with the Pandemic (not taking responsibility). Now that IS a problem!

I have been in IT since roughly 1978, backups/restores have been my daily grub ever since. I don't care about ACR not being able to do accounting, ACR does do the backup I request. Lightroom does not.

Asking today's computer users to be responsible is way too much to ask. Malware would not be rampant if people were responsible.

Adobe makes a product for photographers, not for IT specialists.

Yup, and I'm a photographer and not an IT specialist but I do understand the fundamentals of safe computing, been doing it since 1988.

Yup, adobe doesn't make products to back up data; lots of other companies do. Or as I outlined, my OS. 

This ends my discussion of this idea, do with it whatever you want.

I simply want you to speak for yourself rather than 'normal' people, those who you suggest can't backup their computers. I simply want you to view the facts about how and where to find presets as provided. 

I'm not going to ask why Adobe LR/ACR can't do my accounting; there are other tools for that. Adobe has and will continue to concentrate on providing specific solutions for (as you suggest among others), photographers. Photographers and all users are responsible for backing up their data.
