Dear Adobe,
I love your applications, I’m using at least one of them every day for one purpose or another. From Photoshop to Acrobat, Audition to Premiere, or Acrobat to InDesign - I love what you do so much that I own licenses for all of these products and a few more.
As you and I are both aware, I’m quite lazy and a sometimes forgetful person. Lazy because I like to believe Microsoft Windows is a stable operating system and don’t feel the need to save my work in case of a crash (hey - who likes performing miscellaneous tasks?) and forgetful for those times I just forget to save changes I make to my work in one of your authoring products to avoid losing my work in case of a crash of some sort.
Now I’ve heard rumours out on the internets and through the tubes that you’re releasing a public beta of Creativity Suite 3 some time soon and I’m looking forward to see the changes you’ve made and improvements to your software. Another reason I’m also looking forward to your release is to finally see an Intel compiled version of CS3 which I can productively use on my Mac without running it through Rosetta.
I have a question for you good mate, For the love of god, why do we not have “auto save” and “auto recovery” features in Photoshop or the majority of your other products? It’s an “oh so 2000″ feature and we don’t have it.
Just tonight I was using Photoshop to work on the design of a stubbie holder which is part of a Christmas present for a friend. This involved recreating a larger version of a company logo and getting all of the sizing and positioning correct too. I was annoyed when we had a blackout right after I’d finished my master piece and I’d lost everything.
Please Adobe, will you consider adding the auto save and auto recover features we’re all so familiar with from Microsoft Office?

Maybe, but I’d need several - one for each computer.

Tbh, the thing that annoys me most about cs2 is sometimes when it crashes i lose all my custom palette locations.

Lol, maybe so but it’d be useful. I have one myself. On another note, it would be great if adobe had those features

Damn, you’re on to me…
Hmm, I could use a UPS or two myself. But the really good ones (that can also compensate for power surges and fluctuations) are way too expensive.

The thing I get most pissed of wih CS2 is when you open it up and not everything gets loaded, so you have to close it and re-open it.
