[Macpartners] Adobe CC 2017 Video Apps : Issues with Macs configured with remote home directories

[Duncan S Kincaid]

Would anyone be running Macs (OS X 10.11 or 10.12) configured with networked home directories,
who would be willing to run a couple tests with Adobe CC 2017?

i believe i have found a bug in the DVA apps which form a part of of the Adobe CC 2017 suite
(After Effects, Audition, Bridge, Media Encoder, Premiere, Prelude, Speed Grade).

In effect these apps crash upon launch if run from accounts with networked home directories under Mac OS X 10.12.x.
I suspect they will fail under OS X 10.11 as well, owing to the change apple made to users’ ‘TemporaryItems’ folder beginning with OS X 10.11.
(The CC 2017 DVA apps run fine for users with remote home directories under OS X 10.10.x.) **

Please let me know if you would be willing to install Adobe CC 2017 After Effects, say, and try running it from an account with networked home directory.

Note: Adobe engineers have been advised of suspected bug and concur, but would appreciate a few more data points.

with thanks

**in OS X 10.10 and before ‘TemporaryItems’ appears in ~/Library/Caches. Since OS X 10.11, it appears in $TMPDIR.
I suspect these adobe apps are not properly resolving ’TemporaryItems’ location for users with networked home directories
since OS X 10.11.
