Currently for Photoshop users on Windows to install Scripts and Plugins and ICC profiles the user requires admin permissions to copy files in. This means any pipeline tool we may which would copy scripts from a repository has to run with admin priviledges as well... This keeps leading to issues for us, and this leads to user/company plugins and scripts needing to be installed on each and every version of Photoshop.
I would like to see one of these 2 options to solve this...
Option 1;
Add these folders to search paths for Photoshop to use for Plugins/Scripts, anything in these folders would take precidence over what's in the c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 202x\Presets\Scripts etc...
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Adobe\Photoshop\Plugins
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Adobe\Photoshop\Scripts
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Adobe\Color\ICC\ - (would add to what is in C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color)
or
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Adobe\Photoshop\Plugins
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Adobe\Photoshop\Scripts
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Adobe\Photoshop\Color\ICC
a version number could also be inserted into the path... ie.
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Adobe\Photoshop\25\Plugins
but our preference would be to not...
Option 2;
Add these Environmental Variables to Photoshop to allow us to point to a repository of scripts we have for our company.
ADOBE_PHOTOSHOP_PRESETS_SCRIPTS
ADOBE_PHOTOSHOP_PRESETS_PLUGINS
ADOBE_PHOTOSHOP_COLOR_ICC
and/or have version specific ones
ADOBE_PHOTOSHOP_2025_PRESETS_SCRIPTS
ADOBE_PHOTOSHOP_2025_PRESETS_PLUGINS
ADOBE_PHOTOSHOP_2025_COLOR_ICC
