"Save As" Causes Spinning Wheel
I just installed OS X (10.4.2), using Archive and Install, on a new internal hard drive, and everything seems in order, with one interesting exception, which occurs in both Photoshop CS2 and Microsoft Word 10.1.1. The problem is that my first "Save As" attempt results in a spinning wheel for as long as five minutes before the "Save As" navigation window appears. The time varies, however, and is sometimes only about 20 seconds. If I then cancel out of the navigation window and repeat the "Save As" command, the window appears immediately. Then, if I quit Photoshop and reopen it, the problem recurs. Also, if I restart or shut down and reboot, the problem also recurs.
So I did some basic troubleshooting and found that trashing the "ByHost" folder in my Preferences and then restarting solves the problem, at least for a while. Eventually, though, it comes back; then the only thing that works is to move "By Host" to the trash and restart. This seems to work every time. But then the problem always comes back sometime later.
I hope I have described this clearly enough.
Oh, yeah, I'm running a dual-processor G5 and I have plenty of RAM and hard-drive space.
