Why I use ASE files and the convoluted saving location process:
 
ASE files can be opened in both Photoshop and Illustrator, so there is no need to create more than 1 copy of the swatch file. I use the location I do because I like to be able to go back and move files around if I find a better way of organizing files, and Illustrator chooses to save User Defined attributes in an out-of-the-way folder on the computer. So I came up with a way to get around that. Admittedly, I can probably do it faster had I a shortcut, but I don't always think of that when I should. I'm also lazy about fixing it later XD.
