Yikes, just read over at MacMerc.com that one of Adobe’s guys posted a blog entry recently regarding some serious issues with InDesign, basically in all the dialog boxes. That means crashes for Save, Place, Open — doesn’t sound like something I would want to deal with. They did say this seems to be primarily with PowerPC based Macs, but that affects those of us still on a G4. These new InDesign bugs Adobe says they need Apple’s help to squash.
I have to say I have a friend who works with CS3 on 10.5 on a G5 Mac andif he had any issues I would have heard about them by now.
Still, another reason I am glad I have held off on jumping to Leopard, despite almost daily urges to do so. I think the timing of MacWorld in late January – hopefully announcing new MacPros – and Adobe’s scheduled Acrobat fix (turns out the previous issue with Acrobat was with InDesign & the PDF printer) will be the sweet spot for everything.
Having been a computer geek for quite some time, I have learned my lesson about 3 things: Backup, backup, backp; hold off on major software upgrades for a while – especially operating systems; and the best advice any computer user can get: buy more RAM.
Needless to say this situation heartily reaffirms number two.

InDesign linking multiple images to same link
linking wrong links even when manually linking to new links
(i was unlinking .jpg files to correct .tif links) several times it linked wrong image. have to go slow and save often but only save after you know it is correct. also bombs, have to force quit, cant determine pattern yet. I updated from 3gb of ram to 4gb, seemed to help a bit
have not verified, but it was apple 1gb stick and 2gb from crucial.
