Why do I lose the version information when I save files with PhotoShop?

Adobe PhotoShop has a habit of eliminating resources that it does not know about from the resource forks of files that it saves. This means that the resources that MacCVS Pro uses to track file versions and status get wiped out every time you edit a file with PhotoShop. This is a PhotoShop bug, and you should complain to Adobe if it affects you. The ugly work-around is to keep a copy of the file, and use ResEdit or Resorcerer to copy and paste the ‘ckid’ and ‘mcvs’ resources into the edited file before you check it in. MacCVS Pro 2.5 will store revision information in a separate file, eliminating this problem completely.
