1. Photoshop 23.0.1 (bug has been present in all versions since this feature was released)
2. MacOS - Monterey (bug has been present in all previous versions of MacOS since feature released)
3.
A. Turn on Preset Syncing in Preference Panel
B. Expected Result - Presets to sync to Creative Cloud
C. Actual - Presets for ALL tools are duplicated recursively in folders, endlessly
- Only way to stop this is to turn off Preset Syncing
- Each new Photoshop version seems to come with Preset Syncing turned on be default, which starts the problem all over again.
This was discussed in this feedback item, which has not been responded to since August:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/photoshop-preset-sync-creating-multip...
To further emphasize this problem being widespread, even Chief Evalgelist Paul Trani was experiencing it live as he was leading Photoshop creative challenges this week - in the video you can see him quickly deleting these duplicate preset groups as he does the demo, across multiple tools, so it's affecting him as well.
Here's that video so you can see - note at this timecode he has this same problem, and then he deletes the redundant group (7:20)
Is this problem publicly ackowledged and can it be fixed so that we are not constantly cleaning up duplicate presets and possibly losing valuable work in the process?
