I, and a few other people where I work, have a huge problem, that I am calling a bug in either Photoshop 6 or Windows 2000 (and one of those id infamous for bugs).
If I create a file in Photoshop, or Save as from an existing file (say, to save a TIFF from a JPEG) to a network directory, the file I make only allows me to access it. Other users can only see it, but cannot place, copy, or open it. If I place the file in a QuarkXPress layout, they cannot print the image. I need to get the file’s properties in Windows Explorer, then change the Security setting to allow Everyone access to the file.
This doesn’t happen often, but it happens enough that it is becoming more than a colossal nuisance. The worst thing is that the message user’s get is wrong — they are told the file is locked, but that is not the case. Worse than that is that the user is not told who has access to the file and can make the necessary changes, so we often have to go from station to station figuring out who’s file it is. Got help us if we need the file today, but the owner isn’t available.
