Adobe Creative Cloud Update Bug Deletes Folders in Mac Root Directory

You obviously don't need the Apps to make a living.
Why you ever had them on your computer in the first place (especially a subscription to CC) has yet to be determined.
Like it or not - Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator, InDesign and AfterEffects (all part of the creative cloud subscription) are fantastic programs.

Which, in turn, had acquired FutureSplash Animator and SmartSketch in '96. I still kind of resent/mourn Macromedia's purchase of FutureWave back then, it was so slick to use, even on the PowerMac 8600 I owned at the time... FH7's follow-up implementation of SmartSketch was a joke IMHO... :sniff:
Funny, that FutureWave's work still defines that niche 20+ years later.
So this is the one of the reasons why I crack my Photoshop and delete the app manager, updater, Creative Cloud, and anything else that isn't the Photoshop executable. You never want anything but the app itself running when it comes to Adobe.

Exactly, and it's a more important feature than anything Adobe has added in the past several years.
My Time Machine seems to work fine and ".com.apple.backupd.mvlist.plist" is only missing in present time when I start TM.
When I go back in time with TM ".com.apple.backupd.mvlist.plist" is top of root everywhere so I didn't restore it.
But how important is that file if TM is working properly and why is it only missing i present time before TM backup ?

In addition to Photoshop and Illustrator 6.0, I started off my design career using Quark 4.1 (circa 1998'ish). Brash, clunky and as unaesthetically pleasing as it was, got the job done and files out the door for print. I was a master with the program's keystroke command lines, and probably known them better than I do with InDesign's today. (BTW, went full CS suite in 2009 leaving my old pal Quark (then 7.5) behind for good.)

Good point. They probably thought that because it is hidden, doesn't need to be included, or something.
Thank you for your tip. Having read your comment, I just bought AFFINITY. Seems to be quite "Pro". Goodbye CLOUDY ADOBE!
OMG! that's what I did with Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo… waiting for the debut of Affinity publisher and I will be in heaven! (I don't care about all the money invested since Photoshop 5.5 I'm ready to the new learning curve.
Lightroom is great. Yes, it likes a lot of memory, CPU, whatever, but I have to say it's fantastic software. Why anyone would call it a "train wreck" I have no idea.
I'm fully engrained in Lightroom, for me, I don't see any easy transition, nor do I see Affinity Photo being a good solution for me, i.e., does it have DAM capabilities?

It seems good for me for me, and most photographers seem to use it
The Affinity apps support colour-managed CMYK, PANTONE and custom spot colour workflows. Trapping controls are adequate, if nothing to write home about. I'm currently running Designer and Photo alongside CS6… the overhead of ditching twenty years of muscle memory (and one single client who insists on live AI files being supplied) keeps me on the Adobe suite for now, but OSX 10.12 will almost 100% certainly break AI CS6 and I'll definitely make the move at that point. Had a lot of muscle memory when I moved from Quark to InDesign 2.0, but the adjustment period was relatively brief.
Yes, it will. But you have to start somewhere and I applaud upstarts like Affinity.
Also bear in mind, the demand for print-centric apps is not what it use to be. Mobile, web and digital applications rule. There are web apps like Webflow that almost does away with Photoshop.
Even Adobe knows the future is digital with the introduction of apps like Muse and Edge Reflow. I'm not discounting Adobe as they do make decent professional software. But no company is invincible.
And *THAT* is why I'm still on CS5.5...until I can dump Adobe forever. Al...most...there.
Incredibly absurd comment. But you must be right. All those people who have successful jobs using Adobe software are all living an illusion. Do some of you have so much hatred, frustration, and need to bash that you'll say anything stupid just to post?

So tell me. What should I use instead of Photoshop? What has the power of Photoshop? Please oh mighty one, tell me.
Thats your opinion, which is totally cool, but in all fairness, I'd imagine that their are a lot of students and serious hobbyists browsing these pages - and to make statements about the software being crap and that Lightroom it is a train wreck is not at all fair. You could at least explain why it seems like a train wreck to you.
On another note (in relation to the general Affinity vs Adobe conversation), I think there is room for both of these companies, and they both play an important part in helping people develop their computer literacy skills in relation to visual communication.
This cliche bugs me but it is true all the same - software is just a tool to get the job done. Whatever works for a particular individuals workflow is fine with me. That being said, industry standards are industry standards and Adobe is not going away anytime soon.
If I were your client, I'd be requesting the live files of completed project's I paid you for, too. If there's edits to be made, I might have an in-house creative do the production or source the files to another vendor. Sorry, you probably didn't intend it this way. But I had read that as a complaint.
