"save as" version comments - how to see

I have AI CS2 and am trying to use it with Bridge to give some kind of version control. Since I dont have the complete CS suite I understand that versioning will be limited. Nevertheless, when I save a file in AI using 'save as' and click the Adobe dialogue I can see a field called 'version comments' which I assume allows me to note what is different about the version of the work I am about to save.
But there seems to be be no way of viewing the the information I have saved in 'version comments' - not in AI or Bridge.
Anyone know how I can see the saved comments and could advise me on what limited version control I can use?
Many thanks in advance.

So it seems that there is no way for me to see the info I have entered into the 'version comments' field. Perhaps as Ton says it is only used in Version Cue.
But I think I have worked out a way of entering file version information and being able to browse it in Bridge.
Before saving a new version, I can go to File>Info and put version comments into the metadata 'description' field, e.g "Version Note - greyscale image converted to colour". Then 'save as' and increment the version number in the file name; e.g. Poster V02.ai etc.
If I now browse the saved versions using Bridge, the metadata is shown for each thumbnail and thus the description and hence my version notes. I can then easily revert to any previous file version.
Not pretty but it will do.

Elements Version 8: how to see movie while rendering?

Hey everyone,
Newbie to PSE 8. How do I see a preview while Elements is rendering video? I'm used to other programs like Roxio Video Wave and Cyberlink Powerdirector showing the movie as it's being rendered.
Is there a way to turn this on in Elements? If so, how? I didn't see anything in the online help.
Thanks!

Hello, firemystdl. Since your question is about video, you'll probably get better answers in the Premiere Elements forum, which is here:

Good luck!

How to save different files when can't save in version set?

For some reason I can't save my edits unless I uncheck Save Photo in Version Set. But I have some edits that I havein several versions. If I try to Save by changing name to indicate a version, Photoshop Elements 9 asks if I want to replace a previous edit, which I don"t. How can I save different versions of one file in I can't check Save Photo in Version Set? I am using a Mac.

If you have used Lightroom as an external editor on these images and not initially opened from Organizer, the file path will be broken.
See tips for working with version sets.

I'm not seeing the Auto Save and Versions features

I have a document open in Pages '09 and I'm running Lion, but I am not seeing the auto save or versions features that you supposedly get my clicking on the document name. Can someone help? Do I have to turn this feature on in preferences?

I'm actually working on a Word document that Pages has converted and opened, but the document does have a title bar name. So..I have to do a manual save before auto save will start working?!?
You don't have to do a manual save. Pages will auto save the converted Word document. If you quit Pages after editing the converted document without saving, Pages will reopen the converted Word document, give it a temporary window title of "Untitiled" and have saved your edits.
I did think I see a preference setting for auto save that wasn't checked in my preferences.
I don't think Pages every had auto save. Word does though, and this may be what you're remembering.
Also, how does all this auto save and versions stuff work…
Have a read of Apple's support document titled OS X Lion: About Auto Save and Versions. This explains both and how the two features are related but different.
NB While Pages auto saves new, untitled documents it doesn't create a Version of these documents.

How can I save different versions in iMovie 11 (plus angry rant)

Sigh.
My fiancee is sitting in front of the computer crying because iMove just messed up her project. The project that was basically done. The project she has to hand in tomorrow morning (it is midnight right now).
Who knows what happened. Things apparently just jumped around and no amount of undoing is getting her back to where she wants to be (apparently she used undo, then tried to fix things, then tried to undo again).
Which leads me to:
*** was Apple thinking when they removed the ability to save a file? Seriously! Both of us are experienced computer users and both of us are in the (very vital) habit of saving multiple versions of a file. We don't save a version every 10 seconds, and we don't save a version for every insignificant change. But we do save versions whenever we feel we have hit a milestone. And we would have done exactly that had there been some obvious way to do it in iMovie.
OSX Lion (the first version of OSX that desperately makes me want to downgrade) is supposed to autosave so that you don't have to. But iMove 11 apparently cannot do even this simple thing. As far as I can tell you work on your project and it is the *only* version of this project you can ever work on. If you make a change, you can either:
live with it
or
linearly undo as long as you have not quit the program. Heaven forbid that it crashes or (like it just did right now) stops playing back audio and you have to quit and restart.
There must be a way of saving different versions of your project so that you aren't messing with your one and only precious copy every time you make an edit. Please tell me there is. Or how do I get to the autosaved versions? It is probably too late for her now (she has to redo most of the project to get the audio to line up again) but for future reference we could use some help.
Sigh. Now I have to go help her. I feel so bad for her and I pretty much want to chuck the freaking computer through Apple's living room window right now.

Sorry for your frustration.
Here are two tips that may help in the future.
To save a version, use FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a61c0ec
You might also consider using Time Machine backups.

How to save 4 versions of a file in the application server

Hi,
I have to write a program which will extract few data from SAP and write it in a file in the SAP application server. This program will be run once every month.
I need to save 4 versions of the files, current and 3 prior. These versions should cycle off the oldest once a new version has been created.
Could anyone help me how to do this?
Thank you!
Regards,
Sunitha.

Hi Sunitha,
The best way is to write a unix script in the unix server to do the job for you. Once The file is written in the server then leave the job from the unix side to get this done.
This is the best option i think. Writing a script is not a big task. You can call the script from ABAP or from an external daemon in the unix server. We have many such programs in our org.
Hope this helps
Cheers

How to save as Word document, when Pages does not give that option, but only "Save a version"

I cannot save a document in Word or Word-compatible form. The only options I am given in File is "Save a Version," which does not provide for saving in Word. How do I do this?

Use the Export item from the File menu and select Word at the top.
Best of luck.

How do I save a file with SAVE AS rather than SAVE A VERSION?

I have entered data on a template file and wish to SAVE AS a named file. Pages gives me only one option "Save a Version" which saves the template file overwritten. What has happened to "SAVE AS"

Just discovered this "feature" myself and I'll also be filling in a feedback form to point out what an appalling idea this was. When I read that "Save As..." has been totally removed, can't even be activated as an option, I shook my head.
"Save As..." has been used in every program I can think of, cross-platform, for decades. It's as fundamental to the user experience as "Open File", "Close Window" or even "Save". It's like Apple deciding on a whim that a little cross is too boring for closing windows, let's make it a swirl instead - except users don't understand what it means.
My main problem (and maybe someone here can help me with a workaround) is that I often open an old file and tinker with it, then decide I'm making more changes than I thought etc. and it might be better to keep the original and "Save As..." to create a new document. From what I can see, if I hit "Duplicate" I'll end up with 2 files that have my recent changes. I'll then have to rename the new "Duplicate" file and go back and "Undo" all my recent changes in the original until I'm back to the start (or use "Revert"). Fail to see a way around this and it's such a fundamental problem that will literally hamper my use of Pages on a daily basis, that I'm seriously considering buying Word (what a horrible prospect!).
