2 Men Arrested After Teen Was Run Over For His iPad
Easily import and export your Adobe Photoshop CS4 and CS5 workspace settings with this script
Rejoice! No longer must you hack and slash at your preferences folder to backup or share your workspace -- there's a script to do it for you! Simply grab the script, unzip it, then Files>Scripts>Browse in Photoshop.
The ingenious engineers at Adobe are obviously hard at work on CS6, and this script is likely an early example of what we can expect in the next iteration of the Creative Suite. John Nack, commenting on his blog, says that they've wanted to include such functionality for a while, but "it's just that other things have taken priority".
Another commenter mentions cloud synchronization: wouldn't it be neat if you could sync your workspace, brushes and tool presets into the cloud with CS Live? John Nack says he's been pushing it for years. Considering he's Principal Product Manager for Photoshop, plus the world's current engrossment and engorgement with cloud services, I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see a slew of cloud-based features in Photoshop CS6.

Sorry, it's not starting in my PS CS4..."Invalid fontstyle: Italic: 210"

Doh :(
Did you check the comments? I think something about that is mentioned.

in fact, just go here and look at where photoshop saves all your settings and back up what you'd like (including workspaces).

i'm not 100% because I haven't tried it yet, but all of these should import directly into cs5 by copying them to the new folder (maybe renaming a file or two)

This script is only made mostly for CS5 and is not working in CS4 and you might receive the Error "Invalid fontstyle: Italic: 210".

All this script does is export your workspace. Since it doesn't work for CS4 all the time (even though the title appears that it does) you can just find your saved workspace located here in windows vista or windows 7:
C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\appdata\roaming\adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings\WorkSpaces
