This is really frustrating guys. You crapped up this function with one of your numerous upgrades I'm sure. I used to be able to do this no problem .. I realized that you moved it under Layer>Smart objects.. but now the damn function is greyed out. What extra step am I missing exactly? This shouldn't be this difficult.  I should just be able to select my later and hit this greyed out function.  What the hell happened?

    God damn it I figured it out.. this weird linkage think where the image is a cloud or something...and I have to convert to a smart object is bizarre. I'd rather this just be automatically a smart object like before. I see no benefit to whatever the you guys did with these little black clouds.  If there is one I'd love to hear it.

    When you copy your content into your .psd document, uncheck 'Add to my current library'

    God damn it guys all my illustrator files are no longer linked to those little black clouds. I'm pulling up empty illustrator documents to all of them.   This is a disaster.
