Illustrator CS3 (Mac) and Leap 2.0.2

I use Leap 2 to add meta-tags to my files for the purpose of grouping and whatnot.

Normally, Leap is great for this, but there seems to be a problem with Illustrator files and the meta-tags disappearing when I save a file.

The Ironic Software forums have suggested this might be a problem with the way that Adobe files are saved. Specifically, that Adobe apps may overwrite the files with a new version of the file thus corrupting the meta-tags.

Anyone know if this makes sense and/or is correct?

This is a very frustrating problem that makes me jump between folders to restore everything.

This only happens with Adobe files.

Thanks for all your help.

Illustrator CS3 (Mac) and Leap 2.0.2

Hello Donebylee,

Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and even Bridge can handle the meta-tags. Bridge can provide you will all the info of any illustrator file, including an Icon Preview, but Illustrator CS3 and CS4 are useless in this area. The Illustrator Team have not release any updates for almost 3 years and I do not think they care to fix any bugs.

In short, is not the way the files are saved, is a bug that Ai team don't care to fix.

Adobe Illustrator performance is like you said: Very Frustrating
