Open InDesign docs in the correct InDesign.


The cursing has already started. You've installed CS4, but most of your studio's active projects are still in InDesign CS3. Now each time you double-click on an InDesign CS3 document in the Mac Finder, it opens up in InDesign CS4.
InDesignProxy is a free utility that fixes this annoyance by working as a ’stand-in’ for InDesign. Drag any INDD file onto the InDesignProxy application, and it automatically opens your file in the correct version of InDesign.

surely you'd want to have only one version of indesign on your computer and want projects in the latest version? unless you've been mean and not installed 4 on everyone's machines at which point, why not?

Hmm it does seem to be a way of spoon-feeding the lazy like... normally there's a good reason to upgrade programs, so why not use the lastest version where possible?

It's easy enough to just say 'upgrade' but when you're a small firm like ours, we have to purchase multiple copies. So we normally wait to upgrade so that we can afford to do all of them at once or to be at least an upgrade behind. But if one of our computers did have the newest version, I'm with blue......why not just make it the newest version. Otherwise why did you upgrade? Makes the most sense to me.
