Shocking! Same problem with Photoshop. Not our problem but Adobe's problem! Maybe an error or maybe a misguided "feature".
What bugs me though, is Adobe staff (yes you Chris) dancing around the issue, keep throwing back questions, tossing in jargon, demeaning and condescending comments, and acting like it's our fault that Photoshop is STUPID!
Is there an "Update all Smart Objects" button in Photoshop? Yes or No? And if not, why not? And if not, when will it be added? And what is the workaround? You know what we want, what we expect, and not addressing our needs is simply wasting out time and money!
The irony of all of this is that this is the stupidest "Smart Object' ever. Please tell me what good it is then?
Adobe...Listen to the users! How many times, and how many users must tell you what we want and expect?
Fix this, or direct us on the quickest, simplest way to have our "Smart Objects" update in Photoshop. Automatically, manually, whatever. Just stop wasting our time. I cannot play with this silliness all day! Am I to delete this "Smart Object", open the AI file and replace it, re-size it... do it all over again? How "Smart" does that seem to you? Really?
Time is money and you are wasting much of our time and money! Just give us the solution, and stop pretending it's not a problem!
Be part of the solution, not the problem!
