Those donating by midnight tonight (Pacific Time) will be inducted into the Founding Troop of Club Thievey.

Adobe awaits word from Apple on how to address InDesign on Leopard problems

Untitled 1 20071218 211247 Adobe awaits word from Apple on how to address InDesign on Leopard problemsIn a recent blog post, Adobe staffer Tim Cole let’s InDesign users know of three Leopard compatibility problems that Adobe’s engineers are currently working on.

Problem #1 is an issue hiding InDesign or other applications.

Problem #2 centers around copying and pasting vectors out of InDesign CS3 and into Illustrator CS3.

And then we have Problem #3…

The most serious issue is the Nav Svcs problem that can cause a crash when interacting with the file system via InDesign CS3′s Place, Export, Save, re-Linking etc. dialog boxes. This problem occurs far more often on PPC machines running Leopard. Some users experiencing these crashes have reported that trashing their InDesign Preferences temorarily removes the problem for them. Our testing has not confirmed that.

Cole leaves the post explaining that though all of these issues are confirmed, Adobe engineers “are having to wait on (Apple’s) engineering teams for information on the source of the problems and the ways they can be fixed.”

Premiere Pro 3.1.1 gets its spots on

premierepro 20071206 200941 Premiere Pro 3.1.1 gets its spots onI don’t know how many Mac users are using Premiere Pro anymore, what with its brief absence from the Mac market and Final Cut Pro’s willingness to take its place. In any case, Adobe has issued an update via the Adobe Update Manager today that offers “official Leopard compatibility” and addresses several bugs in Premiere Pro and Encore.

Reading on The Genesis Project, a blog by Adobe staffer Dennis Radeke;

If you launch your copy of Premiere Pro 3.1 and go under help, you will see an Updates button, select it and follow the prompts to download and install the update.

So, do you prefer Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro? Let me know in our forums.
