Gude log / Illustrator

Hello,

since the last Illustrator update three days ago, my computer (Windows 10) creates a gude-log file in the same folder every time I open an Illustrator file. Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a solution? Thanks.

Hi All,

 

I wanted to provide an update regarding the "gude log" file issue that has been affecting you all. As some of you may be aware, we have been working to address this issue.

 

We encourage you all to update to the latest Illustrator version (v27.3.1) and let me know if you continue to experience any issues.

 

Best,
Anshul Saini

Hi All,

 

We are sorry for the trouble. A bug is logged for this, and the product team is investigating the issue.

 

Would you mind upvoting this UserVoice (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/45410827-can-t-do-changes-to-the-containing-folder-gude)?

 

In the meantime, you may try unchecking the Automatic Proxy from the Internet options and check if it helps.
Internet Properties > Connections> LAN settings> Uncheck Automatically Detect settings

So when there are more people experiencing this new log-file, I can assume that its really from AI and nothing to fear? Just something annoying to delete regularly?

It is managed by your organization and cannot be changed.

Not obvious why I would want to change internet settings for all apps if it's only one app causing the problem.

This is not only a problem with Illustrator, but with Photoshop as well! Each time I open a file it creates a gude.log That´s annoying and extremly slowing my work performance!

This is happening to me as well! So not only do I get an auto-generated XMP file when I open an NEF file, now I'm also getting an auto-generated gude file as well?? Very frustrating...please remedy this.

Yes this is a PITA, when I move a folder of images I've processed to the destination, I have to Quit Photoshop becasue the gude file is still open. My images are all closed. I also did a search of  .gude files and trashed them all. I don't need them. Photoshop, PLEASE clean up your log files if your going to put them in our work folders, and make them visibal, don't use voodo to make them invisible. (I have show hidden files on).

Same problem here, with Illustrator only. Started a month or so ago. Changing the proxy settings as Anshul Saini recommended makes no difference. Any other ideas anyone?

Like a virus. EXACTLY. I've got gude files everywhere, desktop, and deeper. Chasing them is a killing productivity. Files are balking, acrobat threw a container app error without prejudice.

Getting really old.
