Please, no field research of Stock in the creative cloud app install list

Hey Adobe,

I'm a little annoyed by the fact that I am facing a Stock lookup field in the section tool creative cloud for OS X Apps.

Usability-wise Apps is for applications, not in Stock. Especially since it has a dedicated section. It makes it less clear Apps section and feels like an attempt to push Stock purchases. And to be honest, do it like this, it only stimulates me to study stocks even less.

Please remove in the next update.

Thank you, Jan

Hi Jan,

I feel your pain - this is a terrible decision UX to be there. If I had to guess, I imagine that he was forced by a person in marketing rather than something with that designers came.

I came up with a fix for this problem in Windows, and I hope that you can adapt it for OS X as well.

How to remove Adobe Stock from the creative Panel Cloud Apps

  1. First, go to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\AppsPanel\resource\ui\resources\js\view (or the equivalent folder on your system)
  2. Make a backup copy of bannerView.js so that you can return the changes we make, if it becomes necessary
  3. Use a text editor such as Visual Studio Code (free for Windows, OS X and Linux) to open bannerView.js and scroll down to the line 116
  4. Select and delete this all var stock_banner =... section and replace it with var stock_banner = "; (i.e. two single quotes, not double quotes)
  5. Save the file and close your text editor (Important: due to how work file permissions, you may need to save the file to a folder first and then copy it from there back to the display folder to overwrite the original)
  6. Quit and restart Adobe Creative Cloud (under Windows, you need to go to the CC, right click, and then quit system tray icon to exit completely) and voila! No more boring Stock in the applications Panel banner:

Important

It is a fairly simple change to a text file, but of course Adobe does not recommend or support it. So if you are not confident by making a change like this, please do. It is also possible that you will have to re - apply the patch, whenever the main creative cloud application is updated.
