Hi

From what I can gather here, installing 2018 will only affect 2017 plugins folder?

I use CC2014 (as RAM/unified preview actually works ok on this version). If I install 2018 to test RAM/unified preview, will my 2014 plugins be affected?

Thanks.

So if y u have a plugins folder of 1GB or so, that is duplicated several times. This has always felt like a pointless redundant waste of space, considering most plugins are compiled the same since CS6. I wish the whole install process was smart enough to know how/where to alias or point to existing installed plugins
