Nice! I'll pass that on to the users and see if that will work for 
them....

Thanks!

Have you tried letting your users install to their home folder?  I don't 
remember the Adobe article, or if it was even an Adobe article, but using 
the Application Support folder in the user's Library folder works.

So, for Photoshop CS4:

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets

I've used this before and my users can add their own plugins and 
swatches.  Better than monkeying with the Applications folder and then 
having to re-apply permissions after Adobe updates their software.

We have Casper 6 and are installing CS4 to systems. The Photoshop and 
Illustrator swatches and plug-ins folders are locked during this process. 
Now the artists can't add their swatches or plug ins unless we manually go 
unlock the folders for them. Can I use JSS/Casper to unlock those folders 
without having to go touch each machine? I am guessing a policy to run a 
unix chmod command once per computer maybe? I think that is the right 
concept, but could use a hand on the details or any better solutions if 
you have them. 

Thanks!
