OT - CS4 PS FW +AI -- Plug-in or app to lock files on Mac Server?
Sorry, a bit OT -- asking anyone I know -- Photoshop, Fireworks and Adobe Illustrator...
Doe anyone know of a plug-in or app for Mac that will lock files when opened on a Server so that only one person at a time can open them?
(I know, Adobe does not support saving files on a Server. But we have no choice, or at least our Management won't consider allowing us to drag to desktop.)
It would seem to be an easy thing to do (make a lock file like ID does).
FYI if you don't have a server, any number of users can open and save the same file at the same time with no warnings (what a mess). Photoshop also locks out all users from saving except owner (no group permissions used). PS does warn "file changed on disk" IF someone saves before you do.. Fireworks + Illustrator just happily let you destroy each other's work. (I know, that's what we get for wanting to share files)
Maybe Adobe has added file locking to CS5 (yeah, right).
