Hi r pollack,

You seem to be a victim of Adobe's failure to recall Version Cue CS4 and their failure to warn people NOT to use it.

If you use Adobe Drive to access the Version Cue CS4 server, your InDesign file is mysteriously stuffed in to a .info file somewhere in the Adobe Drive cache folder. You cannot access it (outside of the Adobe Drive system) or retrieve it once there (and there is no where else you can put it while using Adobe Drive). One option is to "Save As..." to another place, but what's the point in using Version Cue then?

If you disconnect from the server while using Adobe Drive, you will be unable to work on any of the files locally, and any progress made will be inaccessible until you reconnect to the server.

Adobe Drive *IS* unusably slow. The architecture seems to swap bits across the connection constantly instead of storing the file data on your local (faster) hard-drive and synchronizing when you say.

My recommendation is to either use Subversion (more of a programmer's manual source-control system), or use Bridge CS3 to access your Version Cue CS4 server (I'm about to post more on that for others...)

Please tell Adobe how displeased you are for their lack of caring.

thanks,

JP
