Fix swatches list view

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:55:57 GMT

This is one of the little details that's never worked right since CS6. If you put swatches in large list view, it has a bunch of wasted space on the left of each swatch and the names cut off way before they have to, so you can't read the names of pantone colors with 4 digits or more. Colors with actual names are completley unreadable. Small list view is equally useless.

Compare any of these views to CS5's swatches, which fit a lot more information into the same sized or narrower panel. Really annoying if you work with pantone colors, which is probably a lot of people.

edit: and an older version (cs4?) for reference:

How to download AI CS6?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 31 Oct 2013 19:04:42 GMT

I just got a new Mac and I wondering how to download Illustrator CS6 with my creative cloud membership?

I can't find it anywhere in the app or on the site.

CC is out of the question until the alt+scroll to zoom bug is fixed (probably on the 7th of never)

Thanks!

What does this error message mean?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 19:57:12 GMT

I'm trying to update creative cloud but it throws this error every time. It doesn't allow me to run creative cloud without updating – only choices are update or quit.

I also still have the old adobe updater icon in my menu bar.

Clicking on it causes the updater program to pop up in my dock and then disappear. There is no way to remove the icon from the menu bar. I thought that creative cloud was supposed to totally replace the old updater system.

End result is I have two icons notifying me of updates but neither one is able to install them.

No part of this software works as advertised, and the CC programs are buggy to the point that I don't even bother with illustrator CC, but since I've been on Creative Cloud since CS6 launched, I would have to go all the way back to CS5 if I unsubscribe.

How do I fix this error and remove the old, now useless updater from my menu bar permenently?

Swatches UI Broken from cs5

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 01:45:11 GMT

I was hoping this might get fixed in CC, but it didn't:

Using pantone swatches in list view is much worse than in CS5. there is a lot of wasted space to the left of the colors, and the names cut off way too early.

This is one of those features that was not ported well to the new interface, and I would really like to see it go back to how it was in CS5, where it was possible to read all the names of all the colors.

I don't understand how anyone working in QA could look at this panel and be ok with it, but it's been pretty much useless for over a year now.

Host Wordpress sites without using DW or Muse

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 15:11:01 GMT

I develop sites for Wordpress using Coda and I am wondering if it's possible to set them up as Business Catalyst sites that I can install Wordpress on and access through Coda's FTP.

I supposedly have 5 free pages I can host with my Creative Cloud membership, but it just tells me to download Dreamweaver or Muse and use one of those programs to push the sites to Business Catalyst.

I would be ok with going into Dreamweaver once to set up the account, if nessecary, but all I want to do is develop in Coda and upload the files using its built in FTP. For one of my new projects I am considering using Git as well, can this be used with Business Catalyst?

Make the display refresh when scrolling while drawing shapes

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:46:42 GMT

While drawing say, a rectangle, if I go to the edge the display will scroll but all the artwork on the canvas shows up broken until I let go of the mouse, at which point it redraws correctly.

When drawing with the pen tool, and adjusting a curve point, if I go off the edge the screen scrolls while also rendering correctly.

Clearly, the rendering engine is capable of redrawing the canvas while scrolling with a drawing tool, since it works exactly as it should with the pen tool. Modern computers are obviously fast enough to handle redrawing, especailly with the faster graphics engine in CS6.

Also, people have been asking for this for like a decade now.

So....yeah...

Website Hosting without using DW or Muse

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 14:37:04 GMT

I design and build Wordpress sites using Panic Coda. For a variety of reasons I strongly dislike Dreamweaver and stopped using it months ago. I've checked out DW CS6 and don't really see anything radically different and have no desire whatsoever to go back. Obviously Muse is not of any use to me either.

So the question is, can I use BC to host Wordpress sites that are not coded using either of Adobe's HTML products and get at it with FTP?

Indesign cs6 freezes on launch on osx 10.7.3

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 21:07:20 GMT

Using the trial version of cs6. Indesign simply stopped working today and nothing I do can make it work again. I've repaired disc permissions (nothing was wrong) deleted preferences, even uninstalled and reinstalled. No matter what, it just gives me a single, all gray window and beach ball forever until I force quit. It worked fine yesterday and I haven't changed anything about my os, installed any new programs, etc.

I'm using a 2009 MacBook pro 2.8ghz with 8gb of ram running lion 10.7.3.

I called tech support and they very helpfully explained that they offer no support for trial versions and suggested I buy it on faith that they would help me after I bought a broken product. Needless to say I declined.

Of course i have lots of projects that are now cs6 only and I can't get at them.

12.0.4 Breaks Photoshop with expose

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 11 May 2011 15:16:14 GMT

I use Photoshop pretty much all day every day. The only way I really work is in full screen mode with tabs turned off (tabs suck!), so I use expose to move between my full screen windows, which has always been great. This still works for the most part, but it's slower and sometimes displays the windows wrong in Expose, which has gnererally worked pretty well.

Where it gets ridiculous is when I try to drag one layer from one doc to another using expose with full screen mode on. 100% (I really do mean every single time) I grab a layer, expose, and drag to antother window, which I do hundreds of times a day when I make online ads, PS freaks out and displays a bunch of garbled black numbers and letters in the window. I drop the stuff there anyway and all the windows go all over the place. Then I leave fullscreen mode and everything resets.

All of this stuff I'm describing worked great before I updated and since my job basically requires me to drag layers from document to documer all day long (and I don't own an ipad) I am just going to downgrade to a non-broken version, but this is totally ridiculous. If I wanted to be forced into using a crappy interface to make the program work propely I'd just get a Windows machine.

Beta testing is pretty cool; why don't you do more of it?
