"this document has been changed by another application"

Hi,

Sometimes when I save I get a message, "this document has been changed by another application, if you save you will lose the changes made by the other application"

What is goin' on here?

Don't worry about it and save, always save. It's just Somthing the Mac OS does from time to time.

I've had this message too, and I'd be interested to find out what the deal is...

OSX likes to update/rearrange metadata on your behalf and index things like thumbnails. Since GS projects are technically just a collection of browsable files, OSX is compelled to index and thumbnail them. So what GS is seeing as changes is most likely the inclusion of additional hidden data for the OS or modification of metadata.

or sometimes, when the mac is creating a snapshot of the computer(so you can restore to it later on) the error occurs.
