Photoshop CS3 & 10.5.6

Hi all, apologies if this issue has been raised previously.



I was wondering if anyone had had any problems saving to a networked drive in Photoshop CS3 whilst using OS X 10.5.6?



We had terrible problems in most iterations of Leopard whilst working off our server (I know this isn't considered good working practice), and was wondering if we could go back to it without loosing work.



TIA
Photoshop CS3 %26 10.5.6
This is the boilerplate text I use in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):



If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please

cease and desist immediately
in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
Working across a network is not supported.



See:



http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322391.html



Copy the
CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.



Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.



Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does
not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.



If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.



When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.
