  • Can’t save any custom workspaces AE CS6? (recently upgraded to OSX 10.9 rMBP)

    Hello –
    has anyone else had experience with this problem?

    since transferring my CS6 across to my new laptop running 10.9 –
    I can’t save any custom workspaces… it’s driving me crazy having to move everything around every time i restart AE.

    – I arrange the workspace and save it as a custom name – this appears in the menu.
    *However* – upon restart of AE – this custom name is no longer there, and the workspace is once again, an old workspace I had, with windows everywhere.

    – I can reset STANDARD workspace – but even then – when I change to another workspace, then change back to STANDARD again, it reverts to the older, messsy version of standard workspace i had…

    so there’s some issue with saving for me….

    – I checked ‘get info’ to see that my workspace related preferences in the library folder had read/write access and even changed that to everyone has access…
    After doing this, I got this error below, when resetting STANDARD workspace, saving project, then switching to another workspace – and then switchng back to STANDARD…
    it still brought up the messy workspace version, not my newer reset version, and gave this message:

    “After Effectswarning: Error parsing properties list from file “…….Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/11.0/ModifiedWorkspaces/UserWorkspace11.xml”

    (I”ve also repaired permissions with Disk Utility ( there were a lot needing repair, but none were explicitly adobe, and didn’t solve problem on laptop reboot )

    I’ve been trying to find a solution online, without success so far…

    Any advice greatly appreciated…
    (And I wonder what this problem might have wider ramifications for my version of AE? )

    thanks!
