Feature Focus: Preference to maintain your workspace when opening projects

A bit off-topic, but is there any chance you could share this bit of code with the Adobe Illustrator team? I hate the way I have to set my workspace (eg. colour of transparency grid, size of layer icons) EVERY time I open someone else's document in Illustrator (which can be many times a day).

This is nice. I can't believe it never occurred to me to request this. I open other people's projects all the time and am never comfortable in their workspace. Definitely a set and forget and I would say default to enabled.

This is excellent. I share projects with colleagues often and I never want to use their workspaces. This is definitely a set-and-forget type preference, and should be on by default.

When might this not be useful:

My workspaces are mostly built around different aspect ratio jobs (16×9 vs 9×16 vs ultrawide tradeshow/live event screens) than workflows (animation vs roto vs color correction). If I was bouncing between project files using different workspaces, I guess I would need to manually swap. (Which is not hard. At all.)

Really I want this feature active when opening projects last modified by other users/other machines (a more common occurrence). If there’s a way to determine if a project was last modified by another user (i.e. username, computer/hostname, all files require relinking (which, for my colleagues working out of shared folders, it’s only the start of the file paths that change (me on a Mac vs most of my colleagues on Windows) but the jobcode folder and “downstream” are the same), that’s when I’d want this enabled. But if it’s just me modifying files on the same computer, I’d prefer the current/per-project workspace instead.

Praise be! This is a super welcomed change! Definitely a "set and forget" preference and 100% it should be enabled by default. Thank you for this!

Finally! I needed this like 5 years ago. 

Wow, about time! Very happy to see this.

I consider it a set and forget and would prefer it to be enabled by default. If I'm being real honest I don't think it should even be an option to have the old behavior. Choice is good, but I wonder if anyone was actually happy with it working that way?
