Hi, I updated this morning from PS 22.0 to 22.1. Starting the app got me the big surprise: all custom actions and workspaces are gone!!! Any chance to find them somewhere?

I work on mac 10.14.6, programm folder is excluded from timemachine but system files are avaible..

Problem or error

On Windows they did not disappear. 22.1.0 Seems to have fixed the Eyedropper ring, Did not fix the Size and hardness Brush preview. The Lasso Tool can not switch to Panning with space bar when WinTab is used. Though the Lasso Panning Problem was listed as fixed in 22.0.1.

Line Tool still broken version 21.2.4 is the version of Photoshop to use.

The strange thing is: In Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version]/

I find Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 2021 Settings/

within Ifind the workpsace I created this morning on PS 22!

And no ...Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 2022 Settings/

Anyway, the actions are not there and neither the workspaces...

Are those folders time-machined?

Like I said they should not disappear when updating but you may want to back-up your custom presets occasionally.

Those folders are excluded from time machine :((

And yes, backups are good, if you find your data again

First off: That’s definitely not what should have happened …

Secondly: Have you already looked under

Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Presets/…

?
