Automatically Resetting Preferences on Quit

Hi all, I once made the mistake to click on "reset preferences on quit" and since then Photoshop is resetting my preferences on quit every single time. I'm tired of moving my tool box back to where I like it to be, turning on the rulers or simply changing my preferred units for rules every.single.time.

I've Googled it multiple times now with different keywords. It seems like people talk about how to reset preferences on quit but I couldn't find any single soul who has talked about NOT to reset preferences on quit. Please help.

 

Thanks!

That doesn't sound right, AFAIK it's a one time reset.

Do you have any custom workspaces?  If not, then it would be helpful to organise the panels to where you like them, and save it as a custom workspace.   

 

There used to be an occasional permissions issue with MAC OS and Photoshop.  Check this link to see if changes are being saved for you.

 

I have found a thread in which several people are reporting a similar problem, but the last post is from our Dag who suggested it is a permissions issue, same as I did, so the first link I gave you might hold the answer.  Please let us know how you get on.  You could help a bunch of people going forward.

Hi Trevor! Thanks for the response! I am actually not sure if it's correct to call "preferences" as in custom workspaces. Even "Show transform controls" is unchecked each time Photoshop restarts. Is this or rulers, units for rulers, etc. related to workplaces?

Have you looked at the Permissions link?  This is the most likely culprit.
