Sync settings missing in 19.1?

[chrisl87192837]

Anyone noticed that the sync settings tab is no longer visible in the preferences menu or is it just me? Really annoying because I've lost all my keyboard shortcuts as a result of animate not syncing

I believe the cloud sync has been removed from ALL applications with this new release.

I've not seen any mention of this. Sync settings seem to still be visible in After Effects but are gone in Illustrator as well. Does that mean sync settings between machines has been dropped? Seems like incredibly bad feature to lose. Will suck big time if I have enter my macros every time I switch to a new machine

[Joseph Labrecque]

Perhaps they've made some exceptions. I have never seen a public announcement on this - only personal conversations.

I think Joseph is right. I looked up this document Synchronize Animate CC Preferences with Creative Cloud​ and it says that sync is restricted to Animate CC 2018 and earlier versions.

Thanks,

Preran

Any way of moving the settings manually to another computer?

You have to show hidden / system files.

Shortcuts are here:

On Windows the path is:

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Animate\2019\Shortcuts

On Mac the path is:

HD\Users\YourUserName\Library\Preferences\Adobe\Animate\2019\Shortcuts

The rest of the config is here:

on Win

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Adobe\Animate CC YourVersion\YourLocale\Configuration

on Mac

HD\Users\YourUserName\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Animate CC YourVersion\YourLocale\Configuration

Program has to be closed when replacing config files.
