Productions mode reverts the Auto-Save setting in Scratch Disk Setting for everyone on the team
Description: I'm part of a team of editors working on a LucidLink hosted project - all media and project files live there. I requested that each editor set their Auto Save location to a local drive so as to avoid a single point of failure, but everyone's Auto Save destinations are constantly reset to lie inside the root level of the Production.
Why is this a problem: 1) It's messy and unexpected. 2) It causes uneccessary traffic to and from the cloud filespace, which reduces streaming bandwidth. 3) Causes a single point of failure. If our editors lose their internet connection, they not only lose their media, but their auto saved projects. We do have automatic local backups of course but the autosave setting should not get changed.
To reproduce the problem:
1. Create a Production in a shared storage environment, in this case LucidLink
2. Set Auto Save destination to a local drive in Production > Scratch Disk Settings.
3. Quit and reopen app and Production.
4. Auto Save destination has now been reset to the root folder of the shared filespace Production.
Expected behaviour: Once set, Auto Save location does not change for any user.
Actual behaviour: Once set, Auto Save location changes for every user.
Media stored on LucidLink. Premiere version 2025.1. macOS 15.4.1 (though other editors may have other OS versions)
