Smart objetc from Photoshop to Illustrator : Error -54 after (big) upgrade

Hi,
I worked for a long time on OS 10.14 Mojave with Illustrator 24.3 and Photoshop 20.0.6. (lots of scripts, custom keyboard shortcuts, plugins and various customizations)
Recently I updated Mac OS 12.7 Monterey. Since then, it is impossible to edit a vector smart object from Photoshop in Illustrator (double clic on the layer). This error message appears

So I made updates to Photoshop 24.7 and Illustrator 24.9 (keeping the old versions installed on my Mac) The problem of editing smart objects is solved but I lost all my preferences, settings, scripts, shortcuts, my brushes...

So I want to continue using older versions, but I need to resolve this smart object issue.
Does anyone have a solution? What does a -54 error mean?

Thanks

(I post this message in the Photoshop thread, too)

Hello @TomaD,

Sorry to hear about this experience. Would you mind trying to enable Full Disk Access for the older versions of Illustrator and Photoshop by following the suggestions shared in this third-party help article (https://adobe.ly/3SYZeFC) and checking if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav
