    I still don’t understand why Adobe doesn’t automatically port the presets and plug-ins from the 2015 to the 2017 Photoshop folders during the install of the new app. Having to locate, then “authenticate” each transfer is absurd.

      Some people still use older versions of PS even after upgrading. Also, the plugins aren’t always compatible. But its still worth you posting this as a feature request on Adobe forums. They do listen to FRs
