Idea for the future:
Clean up (again) the Adobe Muse installation; organize Muse's application-relevant files into their own folder.
What happened to the installed MUSE files on this release?
What's the advantage of "spilling" files all over a user's Applications folder?
Why the mess?
This is what I've observed after the update to Adobe Muse 2014.3.0 (on 4 different Macs) and what needs to be corrected.
- The Mac OS X Applications folder itself acquires the Adobe Muse standard App icon (?!)
- Muse is installed (like the earliest versions) as a "floating App", floating all by itself inside the Applications folder.
- [Muse's] Legal folder is now also floating in the Applications folder and
- an Alias for Uninstall Muse is also there.
All these files used to be in their own Adobe Muse folder (like most of the other Adobe Apps).
I keep an eye on the contents of Applications and other OS X sensitive directories and how they are organized; I consider files that are not applications (such as the "very important" Legal folder) junk that may cause problems (I know, the lack of a Legal folder and its small-print contents, will cause problems for Adobe). That folder and an Uninstall Muse alias simply do not belong there.
Why did Adobe (or at least the Muse team) change the installation in this (messy) way?
Thank you.
