I have updated AE to 17.0.3 today and now when I open a project it creates 3 Folders CIDFont, CMap and Font each containing a .lst file. Do these have a purpose?

When I open a project within AE these folders will not be created.

Is there an option to not create these folders, like it was until today?

Error or problem

Hi,

I don't use After Effects, I use InDesign and Photoshop (all actual versions), and I still have the same problem!

Hi. Today is Thursday March 12, 2020, and the issue you presented has not been corrected yet. I work with PsCC and AiCC extensively and these random folders—CIDFont; CMap; Font—keep appearing on my desktop. I delete them. They show up. Repeat. Over. And. Over.

There have been updates to PsCC and AiCC since your post of February 20, 2020, but it appears that this glitch has not been corrected.

Given that other apps are experiencing the same thing it seems likely that this was an implementation of something new or updated across multiple apps, rather than from just one team. We never know how complicated an issue is or what gets prioritized; but think of your mobile apps, how many updates do you get a week for those? Sometimes I'll see two updates in the same week for an app (but of course those are much smaller than these Adobe apps), so bugs and mistakes happen all the time, that's just a fact of developement and releasing on a rapid scale. In the grand scheme of things this is an annoying issue, but it's not harmful, and the teams are now aware of it.

After Effects isn't the only one having this problem, but it's possible that your MOGRTs are using Dynamic Link (maybe they have third-party plug-ins or something else that requires After Effects to be installed, rather than being all native elements that can render directly in Premiere?) so this isn't that surprising.
