Reflow installation creating strange ps1, ps2, ps3, ps4 folders on the root dir of my secondary drive.

Some background info:

Win7 Pro, x64

I just got Adobe CC and did an install of a lot of the software on my C: system drive, which is a small SSD. The D: drive is a separate physical HDD. I then created symlinks for a lot of the software (besides PS, Illustrator, InDesign, and the smaller ones like all the "Edge" software) and moved those to my D: storage drive. Once again, to clarify, Edge Reflow and Photoshop are both still on the C: system drive where Adobe CC installed them originally.

After I installed Reflow, three folders got created on my D: drive, named: ps1, ps2, and ps3. Their folder structures are almost, if not completely, identical to each other:

A quick system-wide search of "reflow.generate" also identified another identical folder sitting inside my Photoshop CC directory at:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Plug-ins\Generator\reflow.generate

This folder has the same file/subfolder structure as the above.

I am wondering what the ps1, ps2, ps3 folders are and what they are doing sitting in my root D: drive directory. I tried uninstalling Reflow, after which those folders disappeared. I then reinstalled Reflow and they appeared again as p1, p2, and p4 (instead of p3). The other folder, within the Photoshop plugins folder, is back again also, as can be seen here:

I understand that these folders are part of the Adobe Photoshop / Edge Reflow generator plugin that I have watched a video of. What I do not understand is why I am getting these extra "ps" folders on my other drive. The only other thing I can think of that might help is that I have Photoshop's scratch disk set to the D: drive. Edge Reflow has not been ran at all since its own installation, however.

Are those "ps" folders safe to delete?

Thank you.

Muse works with fractions of a pixel but does not display decimals.

I've had a lot of problems with pixel-perfect design in Muse and finally figured out why. Like Illustrator, Photoshop, or anything else, Muse is able to place and size objects to fractions of a pixel; eg. 50.5 pixels. However, the transform panels do not show decimals at all. The transform panel shows only whole numbers, rounding to the nearest whole number. So if an object is placed at 50.3 pixels, it shows "50"; if it's placed at 50.6 pixels, it shows "51". Screenshot below:

In this example screenshot, I made several lines sized between 50 and 51 pixels in height. The first (left-most) one is 50px; the next is 50.1; 50.2; 50.3; 50.35; 50.4; 50.5; 50.7; 50.9; and 51 for the last one.

As you can see, I selected the one that was sized 50.2 and yet the transform panel at the top shows just "50" for the height.

This is incredibly confusing and annoying because while it may appear that an object is located/sized at a specific pixel, it may actually be at a decimal of a pixel, and that is why some objects are not lining up properly. There is no way to see the exact pixel dimensions of anything so if two things are not aligning, you have to take a wild guess at the exact pixel dimensions and change each until they align.

I think this is a crucial problem to fix for your next update.
