[Samba] Problem with Save-As in Photoshop/InDesign on a samba server.

2008-10-21 Thread Tim Riemenschneider
Hi,

I have a quite interesting problem on a samba server:

We (or better: our client) had a WinXP-system with a shared folder with
lots of data, which has been replaced with a dedicated fileserver using
Samba (on Linux).
All data has been migrated and everything seemed to be fine, however
Photoshop (CS3) and InDesign have some problems on WinXP:
- files can be opened and modified just fine (using Save)
- however when the user tries to use Save as, he is unable to save
(user says that he can browse directories just fine, however Save is
grayed out).
- CS3 on Vista works.
- Saving the file locally and moving it with explorer works too.
- Behaviour is not consistent across directories, i.e. there is a Folder
Projects with ~30 subfolders. Saving to the first 4 works, the others
do not work.
- On the old WinXP server, everything worked

I have currently no / only limited control on the server.
(I'm not on-site currently, I have only remote-access by ssh to the server)

Has anybody an idea what this can be?

cu
Tim

Maybe In CS in the save dialog box, bottom left I think there is a
button says something like use OS save and if you press it again
use adobe save, I think OS save is the way to go.

I have quite a few CS users using samba.
