On Feb 27, ONE WEEK AGO, this space posted a wish list for Adobe Product Bug Fixes and Feature updates.
Part of that mentioned a trial for a product I was using, PsdAutosSaver by ElectricIris.com. I just got a notice that my ONE MONTH TRIAL has expired. No problem but that is incorrect. It has only been one week. Bug in the programming. I was opening a photo from Lightroom to edit in Photoshop on my Mac and Photoshop crashed after getting the error message from Electric Iris. I sent a crash report to Adobe and Apple.
I re-did the same sequence and Photoshop crashed again after getting the same warning from Electric Iris. Being the sharp knife in the drawer that I am, I trashed the PsdAutosSaver program and VOILA, problem fixed. Bug in the program. I wasn't about to buy the program to continue to do the Alpha testing for the company gratis.
In the week that I was allowed to try PsdAutosSaver, the results were inconsistent. Sometimes it saved a backup copy, sometimes it didn't. If I worked on JPG, it would create a HUGE .PSD file that did not show my changes, so it does not do what I had hoped it would do. If you are using Lightroom, backup files are automatically saved because when opening Photoshop from Lightroom, it creates a duplicate file, leaving the original untouched.
Adobe, I still want an adjustable Automatic Autosave feature that allows me to set the timer from 1 minute to 30 minutes. Default version is set to ON at 10 minutes. Preference to adjust the timing or turn off if the Autosave becomes a pain.
