Greetings!
I'm on a cut-throat fight with Adobe InDesign CS3 and, until now, I'm losing it BAD! Every time I open a file inside a user's home folder (Desktop, Documents, etc.), either by double-clicking or by selecting it on File -> Open, InDesign hangs and I have to force quit. When I open the program again, it cames with the previous file already opened, as it where recovering from the crash. When I close the file, it gets listed on the recent files list of the welcome screen and I can open it from there normally!
While I was toying with it, I've found that this doesn't happen when the file was on a network group share. I've also found that it doesn't happen when a local administrator account was used, no matter where the file is. The environment includes networked home folders and this is not the first time I'm setting it this way (did it every semester since mid-2007), but is surely bizarre that it's the first time I've run into this problem. The clients were installed all from the same disk image from the previous semester, just updated via Apple Software Update. The server was rebuild from scratch last month (july) but, except a migration from a Mac Pro to a Xserve, there was nothing new here: I've wrote a contingency plan documenting every step to build the server, and I'm used to follow it.
I've searched high an low on the internet and found only a few complaints with similar symptons, but no answers or solutions. I've searched for bad ACL's on the files, toyed with POSIX permissions, repaired permissions on the disk... Nothing! I hope someone else has dealt with this...
Just in case, my Macs have the following specs:
* 28 iMac (Mid 2007): aluminum, 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD, 20" LCD screen
* 4 eMac (USB 2.0): white, 1.25GHz G4, 1GB RAM, 40GB HDD, 17" CRT screen
* 1 eMac (2005): white, 1.42GHz G4, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 17" CRT screen
* 1 Mac Pro: aluminum, 2x dual core 2.6GHz Xeon 5100, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, 23" LCD Apple Cinema Display
* 1 Xserve (Late 2006): aluminum, 2x dual core 2.0GHz Xeon 5100, 8GB RAM, 80GB HDD (boot), 750GB HDD (shares), 750GB HDD (time machine)
All these computers are running Mac OS X 10.5.8 on the clients (all updates applied) and Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 (also fully updated) on the Xserve. The Xserve was put to serve only recently, and the Mac Pro was in it's place until june. Everything was OK until now! Surely I can restore everything an put the Mac Pro back as a Server with the same setup as before, but I think this should be only the final solution.
Seriously, guys: I'm almost in panic here! If someone can help with some ideas or such, I'll be really glad! Thanks in advance for any help!
P.S.: sorry if I've misspelled something: english is not my native language.
