Creative Cloud Packager - how to edit existing packages (.ccp)?

[mhasman]

Hello,

Creative Cloud Packager updated itself, and updated version does not show the option to open and edit existing packages, but only to create the new one. Do you know how to open .ccp file/preset now?

Thanks!

Previesly it has an option "Edit Package"

And...
It is still mentioned on Adobe site:

Was wondering this myself and found out they removed that support

Can I edit an existing package?
No. Since Creative Cloud Packager 1.9.5, editing packages is not supported.

So, now I have to manually re-create sets every time Adobe updates something? Horrible! Why? Why they did it?!!

I am beginning to think that Adobe software programers would not be able to engineer their way out of a wet paper bag.

I think this is because the tool now always looks for updates when you create a package. It caches the downloads under Application Support on a Mac (App Data? under PC) and shows an indication whether or not additional items are required based on your choices..

What I think would be interesting is that if you have a custom ETLA package with x apps out of the total available.. would be nice if you can save that recipe,, so.. if anyone knows how to open the .ccp file and move forward.. that would be useful to me.

I wonder if it was removed because modified packages had some crazy issues. If we built a new package and included all of the available apps and updates under our ETLA, we'd end up with about a 16GB package. If we then reopened that .ccp file, changed nothing, and clicked Build again, the output would be nearly 40GB.

Perhaps it was easier to remove the feature than to fix the bug.
