After the latest "update" to photoshop, whenever I drag an item from the library to a document I'm working on a popup comes up saying it is now a "linked" file and if I want to place it as a copy, I have to hold the ALT key down while dragging it from the library.
What I need to know is how do I turn this stupidity off? I'm extremely aggravated that I now have to go to the extra step of remembering to hold the ALT key down while dragging something from the library. This is stupid, just turn the crap OFF and never have to do it again.
I have looked at every option in the preferences and there is nothing to turn this junk off in there.
Adobe needs to STOP arbitrarily changing things and screwing with people. If you implement something, turn it off and show a ONE TIME pop up telling people they can turn it on IF THEY WANT TO. Just stop turning CRAP on that nobody wants.
This is the dialog box that pops up. It never came up before this latest update. I'm not sure if it was becasue of the lastest update to photoshop or to the latest update to the CC App. I updated both at the same time so it could be either one of them.
This is a change and I need to know how to reverse it. And Holding the ALT key down every frigging time is NOT an option... And right clicking on it in the library panel and choosing "place layers" is NOT an option either. I need to know how to turn this absolute stupidity off PERMENANTLY and never have to mess with it again.
It was not this way a couple of weeks ago. Two or three weeks ago I could drag anything from the library panel and it wasn't "linked" at all. It was a copy of the image, as a smart object, but it wasn't places as a stupid "linked" object in the library. I could even delete it from my library after dragging it into a document and it was still in my document and there was no "missing asset" warning when I opened the file again. So it wasn't linked for me anyway, but now it is and I am really aggravated that they turned that junk on and I have no obvious way to turn it off.
