Will Edge Reflow be usable?

An exciting tool however the Preview version doesn't suggest that it will be a fully fledged tool for mockingup or creating responsive design.

A few of the things I have noticed:

• The limit of 16 columns creates problems for anything that required more. While the settings can be adjusted and you can play with Gutters and margins, these are a work-around that create other problems.

• There seem to be a few bugs such as the inability to select the breakpoint + pulldown menu to name and adjust dimensions

• Setting dimensions for one breakpoint sometimes carry over into other breakpoints automatically. I understand that you are meant to click the button that appears "Apply property to all regions". It is also limited when attempting to create very realistic rules such text that is 90% wide but not exceeding 400px - it usually coverts the 'size' to different percentage or a px width and carries through various 'properties' into other breakpoints.

• With changes to an object, it would be useful if multiple properties are changed to apply all changes to all regions, rather than have to click each individual property. Like-wise for a group of object should inherit identical properties.

* The percentages are not working well. If I set a margin to 10% for example and select a box or text field, why will it then display 9.86% on the object? (the percentage changes slightly when the page is expanded / closed). This also happens on some object sizes. It is frustrating when object are aligned and are not touched or interferred with by any other settings suddenly lose their global settings and develop individual settings with their own new dimentsions.

• Alignment is a challenge, If I create a box and drag it to align, the magnetic/snap-to alignment function works however it is never 0%, it is always a fraction such as 0.4% and has to be corrected each time in the properties. And if chaning to pixel dimensions, I have had it change to percentage.

• Generally the tactile feedback for the application needs to be improved - basic things like hover / mouseover effects that are standard in adobe software.

My primary use currently is mockups however was still interested in reviewing the code with the developers, though will have to hold off on this.

The functionality for viewing breakpoints is good as well as the colour coding though care needs to be taken to avoid accidently deleting - a popup would be good.

Copy & Paste difficulties (slow)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:46:00 GMT

Having been an active photoshop user since the 90's. Copy & Paste is one of the simple but frequent action (Apple A, Apple C, Apple V).

Recently I have found I have to try a number of times when coping bitmaps between file because the original selection isn't copied - or if it is copied, it doesn't paste.

I have found that doing it really slowly helps and also ensuring that the cursor is directly on top of the bitmap (stage) - so that you notice the cursor actually changing to the scissors when you copy. I am sure that using the menu options would work - though also inefficient. The issue also happens with other keyboard shortcuts - eg. Apple T

In any case, it is different than before something that seemed to happened on CS6 - probably after an update. I also use CC though have not yet consciously registered whether this is happening on CC.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Activate App required despite Cloud Membership

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 10 May 2013 03:59:27 GMT

After six failed attempts to create an App (Built in Single Edition) I need assistance as DPS App Builder is asking me to Activate App, wanting a serial number despite having a complete Adobe Creative Cloud subscription.

Background:

I have followed all of the steps in the Step by Step guide and everything is working well - all certificates, Apple ID's etc.

Also the latest version of DPS App Builder is installed (old copies completely removed) and inDesign up-to-date.

From within inDesign I click Create App and then follow the wizard in DPS App Builder providing all information/content which works as it should until completing though won't display any downloads instead wants me to activate and provide a serial.

I have followed the steps to this known problem as provided by Adobe here however this did not work.

I have also check other forum discussions - most issues seem to be resolved with reinstalling, this has not worked for me.

Two Items:

In inDesign I have complete shared access to the folio though did not create the original folio. As we have multiple subscriptions - I have also tested this from the computer where the original folio was created though with the same result.

Does geo-location have any influence? Adobe recognises the cloud subscription via Acrobat however not via adobe.com where, for the same verified email the subscription of Cloud is missing. We suspect it is because we are currently out of the country where we have our adobe subscription and Adobe may be possibly blocking or redirecting access. If this is the problem - how can it be resolved?
